Farewell & thank you, September 🍂✨
I was going to say you’ve been a gentle month for me… but as I sit here reflecting, I see you’ve been richly full. Gentle in pace perhaps, yet deeply productive in the ways that matter.
A weekend away in Bath with Hubster filled with laughter and wandering. A trip to Scarborough to study “The Key to Karma” with Alistair, where I reconnected with a community of beautiful souls who always make my heart sing. Long lunches with friends that left me smiling, a day dancing with Sarah-Jane, and even a Pickleball trial (yes – I think I’m going to continue!).
At home, the chimney has been swept and the fire lit, Strictly has returned to my screen, and art classes have resumed after a year’s pause. DIY has been in full swing too; from a new decking area to a refreshed lounge with a new sofa, and even the front door proudly showing off its fresh colour.
And of course, the milestone that has changed the rhythm of our home: Harriet starting Uni. A huge shift, filled with pride, love, and all the emotions in between.
All this, while quietly layering in my new non-negotiables, the habits and practices that support my energy, wellbeing, and joy.
September, you’ve been a month of gratitude, connection, and change. You’ve reminded me that “gentle” doesn’t mean empty.
It can mean meaningful, steady, and full of heart. 🍁💛
