Pause

It's come.  Tomorrow marks the first day of school for my little ones, officially ending our long days of summer.  I can honestly say that we have squeezed the life out of every single day. Soaking up each moment of sunshine possible, and being as creative and spontaneous as can be.  But even though my thoughts are turning to cool weather and sharing pots of hot tea with friends, it's still not Fall quite yet. 

I liken these transitional times to the pause between the in breath and the out breath.  The brief moment that you hold all that sweet energy in, and it nourishes you all the way down to your lovely little cells.  I encourage you to be aware of that powerful space between the breaths.  And this lovely transitional time.  When you can still feel the warm kiss of sun on your shoulders, but can appreciate the warm cup of tea between your hands as you reflect on your favorite moments from the season past.

Here's some of my favorites.....

Fields of sunflowers

Finding treasure

Visiting friends

Exploring the unknown

Messy experiments

Peaceful places

And sharing it with the whole family
