October! Although it still feels like Summer, it is officially time to enjoy apples, pumpkins and all things Fall. It is one of my favorite seasons, I am looking forward to a little cooler weather and the change of leaves. This is one of my favorite quotes I want to share with you-
We had a great visit with our college daughter, she came home for the weekend and having all of my kids under one roof, brought me such happiness! This pic is from a little birthday celebrating. I shared in last months issue that my birthday was creating some unusual stress for me this year, I am diving into some of my fears and am so touched by the love I received on my birthday. Life is a journey, some roads have curves we may be afraid to maneuver, but, with support and the knowledge that we aren’t alone- we navigate!
We created our first playlist of music on Spotify! Here it is for anyone that would like to listen,
