🌅 Reflection for Monday & Mary’s Birthday

Monday brings new beginnings — a clean slate.
Mary’s birth reminds us that God’s plans often begin in quiet, humble places — like the birth of a young girl who would become the Mother of God.

Happy and Blessed Monday Everyone!

🌟 What September Is All About:

1. A Month of Transition
In many places, September marks the change from summer to autumn — a metaphor for letting go of what no longer serves you and preparing for something new.
It's a natural time to reflect, reset, and re-align with your goals.

2. Back-to-Routine Energy
Whether you’re a student, a professional, or just living life — September has a “back to school” or “back to business” vibe.
It’s a time to get organized, build habits, and reignite discipline after the looseness of summer.

3. Harvest Season
Historically, September is a time of harvest — both literally and symbolically.
It’s a great time to reap the rewards of what you’ve planted earlier this year and prepare the ground for what's next.

💬 Encouragement for September:
🌱 “You don’t have to start over — just start again.”
You may feel tired, behind, or uncertain. That’s okay. September says:
“Let’s try again.”
“Let’s finish strong.”
“Let’s move forward, even if slowly.”

🍁 “Change is in the air — and it can work in your favor.”
