As a Florida resident I enjoy the pumpkin spice but have to travel north to enjoy the rest of what we traditionally expect from this Autumn season. <sigh>
Choices, Courage, and Change have been on my mind this month. Well,
Dancing on the edge of truth – the battle between hope and doubt. We’ve all done it at one time or another. Deep within us we know there is something more. We notice it in others or perhaps it’s that quiet voice inside that tugs at our heart and whispers “Don’t Settle”.
Could this really be for me? Excitement builds as we give ourselves permission to explore the possibilities. Hope shows up. For many, just as quickly, Doubt shows up as well.

Life has just been happening at a rapid pace – at least that’s how it feels to me. From pandemic to civil unrest to a divisive political climate… Don’t you want to shout “Stop talking! No more talking!”?

Are you hooked on romance? A chic flick junkie? I admit that I love a good story – a happily ever after. How about you?

Ideas flow continually in my busy mind. Sometimes they just fly by – a faint whisper in the wind – gone forever. What was that thought, I wonder. Oh well, not to worry, there will be another.
