Hello September.

              As I say goodbye to another month, I welcome a new season.  I welcome a new chapter.  I welcome a new class.  My academic journey has helped me to be more accountable for myself.  To show up for myself.  To be proud of myself.  Although it felt like it was just last week that I was celebrating New Years 2019, 2020 is almost here. 

                As we chug along this year and onto the next, don’t forget to thank yourself for all that you’ve done.  No matter how small a victory may seem.  Celebrate it!  If this year has taught me anything, it’s forgiveness.  Forgiveness for others and forgiveness for myself.  Learning to let go and just let yourself be.  That is one of the best things I’ve taught myself.  Scaring myself and forcing myself out of my comfort zone. 

                Learning to heal yourself and truly having closure.  Not being afraid to be by yourself.  Enjoying your own company.  This is what helped me to close one book and move on to the other great story of my life.  Not being afraid to love freely and deeply.  Opening yourself up to love the one you’re with and their family.  In my previous posts I’ve mentioned that.  I’ve found a second family that I’d do anything for.  A new love that I’d count the stars for. 

                Welcome the new season for with it comes changes.  Just like the trees in the fall, you will change.  You will seem baron at some point in your life.  You will endue the cold with no protection and alone.  And just like that tree, when springs arrives, you will bloom and those beautiful leaves will show the world that even in your weakest moments, you will always have your season to grow.
