Did you catch that last Super Moon we had and all its wonderful energy! Ahhhh September, kids are back in school and there’s that promise of cooler temperatures with Fall’s arrival. Just as exciting for us at Nature’s Treasures, it is time for our second annual buying trip to stock the store with new and exciting goodies for the upcoming holiday seasons. Yes, it’s that time again and already we’re seeing promises of some spectacular mineral pieces. All this month we’ll be buying and preparing for our 17th Annual Denver Trunk Show starting on Saturday, November 5 and running through Sunday, November 13th. We’re still tackling some shipping price gouging and delays, but overall it seems to be settling down somewhat. Prices are definitely increasing across the board, but no more so than anything else. The buying secret for us is to scope out those lots of goods that still have old pricing and finding those over ordered items that are being reduced for fast moving/clearance.

September is hopping with holidays and celebratory days. Starting with September 4, National Wildlife Day (celebrated twice a year, in February and September) to raise awareness of all endangered plants and animals that need protection and/or rescuing because of their altered natural habitats. Since September 5 is also the International Day of Charity, maybe you can show solidarity to both causes by donating any extra funds and some of your time this weekend. If nothing else, since it’s also officially Labor Day Weekend, give yourself a bonus by getting out to enjoy connecting with nature..

Officially declared Patriot Day (Not to be confused with Patriots' Day) the following Sunday, September 11 is a day to stop and reflect on our country’s loss of innocence and all the suffering experienced on this tragic day 21 years ago. Annually there is a remembrance and tribute to all the lost souls at 8:45 am that you can tap into if you so desire. September 21, World Gratitude Day and International Day of Peace or World Peace Day could sure use all our combined energies to help bring about the continued building of world peace. Here comes Fall on the 22nd, officially the day of the Autumnal Equinox. Hopefully you can find a day or two this month to celebrate by getting outside and having some fun while recharging yourself.

While you're out recharging yourself and reconnecting with nature this month it’s a perfect time and place to do some manifesting review. In January’s newsletter I mentioned the planetary energy’s this year were slated to offer the best opportunities ever to experience the blessings of manifestation between May and October, 2022. Now’s a great time to reflect on how it’s going. Do your manifestation visions need adjusted, do you feel the need to add any new manifestations? Hopefully you are starting to feel the positive change of energy around you that your manifestation energy has started creating.
