🍂🍁Happy October!🍁🍂
Cheers to the start of my favorite month & season! I love the crisp mornings, golden sunsets, cozy sweatshirts, firepit nights, autumn colors, hikes through the leaves, football Saturdays, excitement of kid’s to pick a costume, fall decor and all the aromas & flavors. And this year… extra cheers to 29 years of marriage this month for me and my husband! 🥂💛
For me, October has always felt like the true “new year.” The season itself, our natural rhythms, and the Jewish High Holidays call me into reflection and growth: How do I want to show up each day? What little things can I do to bring more calm, joy, health, and purpose… and inspire others to do the same? 🍂✨
It’s also when I go full-on creative mode with crafts, new recipes (pumpkin spice, of course!), trying new hobbies, and of course…my love of pretty paper. 🎨✂️
While many call Autumn a season of change, I also see it as loving the beauty around us as is, and a time of evolvement and growth. Teaching our families and teens (and reminding ourselves!) to slow down and notice the little joys of October shows them that wellness goes beyond food and workouts, it’s about how we can self-reflect for growth and change and create balance and joy in everyday life. 🧡
So here’s my encouragement: don’t rush through it. Slow down, breathe it in, and savor all the beauty October brings, with your family, your friends, and for yourself.
