The temperature outside is warm enough that I don’t have to light a fire in the woodstove today, but soon it’ll be a constant necessity. In this month’s issue we share a lot of our feelings about the changes autumn stirs within us, the courage it takes to build a healthy foundation, and the importance of self-care.
For those of us who are blessed with experiencing the four seasons to the fullest, autumn is a reminder of shedding and letting go what no longer serves us. We grab warmer clothes and blankets out of storage, and shift our recipes to soups and stews. Here’s a sample of what you’ll find amongst these pages:
Jill Celeste’s friendly smile appears on the cover of this month’s issue for “Making a Difference One Marketing Foundation at a Time.” Jill shares with us some of the reasons entrepreneurs are reluctant to establish a solid foundation for their marketing plan and some helpful tips to motivate us. Kat Tozier writes about removing the instilled masks of her upbringing and the courage it took to find her freedom to speak. Sheryl Cook explains how autoimmune issues are a journey and not her destination. Jenn Ryan shares a personal experience with the ebb and flow of relationships, and provides a list-making exercise for increasing your soulfulness. Rachel Kieffer introduces us to a better way of eating in her One Woman’s Story of Healing monthly series. Joni Advent Mahr provides insight on how sensual pleasure can boost our resilience and melt away stress, Tae Lynne tells us of the benefits of heated pool exercising, and Natasha Botkin restores our energies with autumn’s colors. In the Kitchen section we have delicious recipes to soothe your soul and expand your list of favorite home cooked goodness.
Enjoy.
Life is an amazing adventure;
it was never intended to be lived in gray-scale.
