The weather has been glorious but a lot of people get a little squirrely as the days get shorter and darker (myself included). This was a much needed reminder that the season is telling us to slow down a little, quiet down a little, and enjoy the rest.

(Also helpful is my Queen of Autumn friend initiating a Make Jess Love Fall campaign - I may be sipping a pumpkin spice latte before you know it 😂🤦🏻‍♀️🍁)

Feeling the pull of winter's slower pace? Embrace it. These shorter days invite us to pause, reflect, and rest. Let's honor our inner seasons with meditations crafted for this time. Together, we'll navigate the darkness with grace, finding peace in the quiet moments until spring whispers its return.

Is it the yoga or the daily breakfast of toast, butter and honey that has kept Charlotte going at age 102? She's a great example of how important mobility (and a great attitude) is for longevity. Make sure to watch the video - her daily routine is so simple and so nourishing.

For decades, Charlotte Chopin has been bending and stretching in Léré, a village in France. Here’s how she keeps moving.

All this time I've been thinking I'm an Aquarius and now they're telling me I'm a Capricorn??
🤯🤯 I'm not a big horoscope person but after a little reading maybe I AM more Capricorn-y than Aquarius-y?

Over millennia, our view of the stars has shifted, because of Earth’s wobble. It may be time to rethink your sign.

I post this poem every year at this time - it embodies perfectly how I feel during these hazy golden September days. This moment of transition, of wanting to hold onto the heat and warmth of summer and accepting the reality (and beauty) of what we know is coming - it is all so poignant and bittersweet. Enjoy ☀️ 🍁

As I eat my way through the bread, pasta, cheese and sweets of France, I am so envious of the quality of their food! Sure, we're clocking 8+ miles of walking a day, but I know I could never eat this way at home and feel as well as I do.

Naturally leavened sourdough breads made with heritage grains, strict regulations on pesticides, commitment to and pride in locally produced foods, and a culture of relaxed social interaction over meals makes a huge difference in the way the foods we eat affect our health.

Every time we purchase local organic food we support a food system that supports us back (as well as our farmers)! And no matter what we eat, sharing it with friends or taking a walk afterwards makes it that much better for us 🙌🏼
