i love this season

Autumn is my favorite season. It is of the earth, so grounding. When we studied the Jewish faith when Lala bug was in 3rd grade, I loved the celebrations of fall. It is a time of renewal for many faiths and as someone who is non-religious, but spiritual in nature, the idea of making right my wrongs and re-connecting anew at this particular time of year is...nurturing.

At this time of year, I reflect and meditate on so many things. The past handful of weeks have been challenging ones and have left me thinking about the ways in which I have and have not brought my word of the year, Joy, into my heart, my mind, and my life this year. I have been thinking about what I need to shift in the coming months and asking questions of myself. Where is my life headed? How can I guide that and what should my guiding word be next?

My camera and I are trying to become reacquainted. Along with writing, photography is a simple, creative outlet I have missed.

I am grateful for the tiny pause that taking a photograph gifts to me.
