Are you ready to celebrate fall…and all that comes with it. Like cooler weather, mums, raking leaves and preparing for a new season. There is so much going on and so much to be thankful for, as we say goodbye to summer and greet the beginning of the school year and the changing of the season. The issue here is sometimes we don’t stop. We simply move into fall as if we have too much to do and it all must be done right now; without giving ourselves a moment to realize the beauty of the seasons.

My life coach - John Dulworth, www.johndulworth.com is a magical man who helps me focus on my life and find the calmness and clarity I desire. My life is a mosaic of all the things I value; family, friends, loved-ones, passions and living in the moment.

So as I stop to think about where I am at this very moment… I am enjoying the 3 day weekend of Labor Day. I remember with intense sadness the decade of 9-11 as it fast approaches and how it changed our lives forever. And then I am thankful for all my blessings, all my family members, friends and loved ones. And then a complete sense of gratitude surrounds me.

You see, I have a new role as Ouma. As we celebrate Grandparent’s Day (also 9-11), I celebrate Taylor Olivia. She is 10 weeks old tomorrow and a complete delight to be with. Being with Taylor is a true gift. She helps me stop and be in the moment. I love spending time with Taylor Olivia and I love being her Ouma!

Cheers!
