Hi Reader, Here we are at the liminal time of late summer/early fall when you have to dress in layers to handle the shift from a cool morning to a hot afternoon; it's a lot and these cooler nights have been refreshing for me! It's also back to school season - adding an element of a new year and a restart. The mornings are darker, the evenings shorter, the night time animal sounds have shifted from peepers to crickets, and, dare I say it, some leaves are starting to change. This shift can...

Happy New Year! I hope your holidays and year end brought joy, light and some rest, even in this season of cold and darkness. As the new year begins there can be a sense of rush - to get going on your year’s to dos, to have a word of the year picked out, or to have new goals to achieve.

But if that’s not where you’re at, like me, then I hope you can use this month to pause, move slowly and be present in the...
