Summer's End...

TAh yes, it has been a minute... and the entire summer! Last night and this morning have a chill, and I am actually excited for fall. The leaves change color, the air feels softer and colder, and the turn in season reminds us that truth is constantly in flux. It makes me reevaluate where I am with my thoughts, work, relationships... pretty much everything. I am grateful to have spent the summer working with WNC Magazine and to have started my yoga section with Mountain Xpress (with which the articles will move to print September 5, so check it out!).

I had a weekend full of yoga! My friend, Kimberly Drye, teaches  Yoga on the Mountain at different locations for every season. This time, we went to Black Balsam on the Blue Ridge Parkway. I loved it! Doing yoga with the mountain peaks around you and the fresh air on your fingertips is invigorating. I used the visual of standing on a mountain for the class I taught that afternoon. Very inspiring. It reminded me that I need to do things like that more often.

I also need a new book to get into. A new intention list is starting...

My tip of the week is for you to do the same. With summer ending, it is the perfect time to write out what you are looking for this fall, what you need, and what you need to shed to welcome change.
