Greetings!
"Life starts all over again when the air gets crisp in the fall."
~ F. Scott Fitzgerald
September always reminds me of new beginnings. Even though I live in temperate California, the fall reminds me of my childhood on the East Coast and the transition from humid summers to crisp fall days. I loved playing in the beauty of autumn leaves falling. This season always signaled the beginning of school. I remember loving the start of the school year—going shopping for a new school bag, binders, marble notebooks, and a new set of pencils.
I am now blessed to witness my grandchildren beginning school.
I have always loved the clarity of new beginnings. For me, this month represents a new beginning in my teaching calendar. I will be teaching my first memoir workshop at our local bookstore and gathering place, Godmothers Books.
Since last January, I have been facilitating a Sacred Circle there for women aged 60 and older, and it has been well attended and deeply meaningful. It is also a highlight for me—the coming together of kindred spirits. Now I will guide others in writing their memoirs, work I have done in other settings for many decades.
I am also excited that the children's picture book I have been creating with my eldest granddaughter will be published next month. We're putting on the final touches and can't wait to share it with you! I hope to arrange some book signings!
Wishing you many blessings!
