Moments of wonder await—on a walk, in the yard, or right outside your door.

Here is a brief list of activities you can do in nature. These can be done while out on a nature walk in the woods, playing in the yard, or walking in your neighborhood.

- Take photographs on a walk—focus on themes like calming, inspiring, wonder, or miracles. Draw or paint what you see.
- Use items in nature as paint, crushing berries or mud as paint.
- Create images or quotes with sidewalk chalk, or draw in mud or sand with a stick.
- Collect sticks, stones, leaves, petals—assemble into a sculpture or mandala (perfect for Fall!).
- Get unstuck, find a “sit spot” in a park or yard-visit weekly to notice changes.
- Write about nature, engage more than just your sight.
- Let every feeling guide your poetry.

🍁Welcome to the Fall Season!🍁

The signs of Fall have started to show.

Leaves are beginning to turn brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and red.

Squirrels and chipmunks are busy gathering acorns, nuts, seeds, and berries.

Change is beautiful.. but it can also feel scary and uncertain. 😧

Mother Nature reminds us that change is a cycle as each season transitions into the next.

🌳Take time to reflect on the natural world:

🍂Trees lose their leaves in the Fall to conserve water and energy during the cold winter months. What are some things that you can let go of to conserve your own energy?

🐿️Think like a squirrel or chipmunk. What practices or routines have you developed over the spring and summer seasons that can help to sustain you through the winter?

Looking forward to trunk or treat 2026!

But when do we need to show gratitude? And how can it create positivity in our lives? 🤔

When to show it:

When we’re upset with someone
At random times as a reminder to be present
When negativity creeps in

How it helps:

Enhance relationships
Improves physical health
Increases resilence
Promotes a positive mindset

We all want to feel valued, heard, and seen. 🙌 By showing gratitude, we remind people of their humanity. Even though there are countless reasons to focus on the negative, we choose positivity. 🌿💛

📚✨ Back to School & Mental Health ✨📚

As students head back to school, excitement and nerves often go hand in hand. 🎒💭 Whether it’s starting a new grade, adjusting to new routines, or balancing academic and social pressures, mental health matters every step of the way.

💡 Here are a few tips to support mental wellness this school year:

✅ Establish healthy sleep routines 💤

✅ Practice stress-management skills like deep breathing 🧘

✅ Stay connected—talk to friends, family, or a counselor 💬

✅ Remember, it’s okay to ask for help ❤️

Our practice is here to support students, parents, and families during this transition. You don’t have to navigate challenges alone—we’re just a message or call away. 💚

🌟 Wishing everyone a positive, healthy, and successful school year ahead! 🌟

🌿💜 September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month 💜🌿

This month, we come together to spread hope, raise awareness, and remind each other that no one has to face their struggles alone. 💚💜

✨ Every life matters.
✨ Every voice matters.
✨ Reaching out can save a life.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please know that help is available. You matter. You are not alone. Talking about su***de does not cause it—it can prevent it. Let’s break the stigma and create space for open, supportive conversations. 💬❤️

📞 If you are in crisis, call or text 988 for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.
🌐 You are not alone. Support is just a call away.

Let’s use September to stand together, spread compassion, and be a light in someone’s darkest moment. 💡💜💚

It’s not just your skin feeling the heat, your energy might be burning out too. The challenge is this kind of sunburn often doesn’t always show on the outside.

Between rising costs, limited childcare, long school breaks, many parents are stretched thin. Bored kids, sibling fights, grieving loss of friendships, and the pressure to “make summer magical,” it’s no wonder you’re feeling worn down.
