Originally I wanted to write an article about the different trees that add color to our area when we enter fall. We are still going to share those with you, but I wanted to take a little different approach to this article for the newsletter.
When the leaves begin to turn, what comes with it is a fresh, crisp, and relieving excitement. Change is coming, and it is welcomed and beautiful. This has been one interesting year, so far. I think we have all, one way or another, felt like we were building the train, as we were driving it down the tracks. We will be forever changed by this year. We will look at healthcare, health, education, gatherings, small business, fundraising, our investments.......with EVERYTHING we will take pause and look at it a little differently.
The trees withstand season after season after season. Some years are better than others.
The blessings that I believe we MUST acknowledge (like the beautiful palette of autumn leaves) is that: everyone has had to think of new and creative ways to manage the shift. Yes, there have been many hard times and hard things this year, but there has also been opportunity to create, re-create, enhance, pivot, & EXPLORE new ways of living our best life. We are in a shift & we can appreciate the beauty of what was gained and look forward to when the leaves turn again and the flowers start to bloom.
This year fall reminds me that we are in a season. God created this world to have seasons. The old way passes are in a season where change has happened, but it has happened to us all. Collectively
Visually, my favorite time of year is the fall. I think about God's creation and how He has created this amazing & intricate design. g
