Dear October, you've been a special month. 🍂
Firstly, because you're my birthday month! Although I didn't make a big fuss about my birthday this year. Perhaps keeping it low-key was exactly what I needed.
But you've reminded me of the importance of appreciating all the seasons.
And since it's autumn here in the Algarve, as much as we don't feel it every day (apart from at night!), I know you're here to remind us that slowing down is beautiful, too.
Because I definitely have plenty of yang energy in my life, but the yin is always a little bit in deficit. And I think you're a good month to start working on that.
Thank you for the countless beautiful interactions, the events I've attended, the special encounters with clients, friends and all the other wonderful humans in my life.
I guess you're preparing us for the colder part of the year here in the Algarve. But that's okay. Every season has its own beauty, and I'm learning to appreciate each one for what it brings.
So here's to slowing down a little, making space for more yin, and remembering that we don't always have to be in full bloom to be growing.
Thank you, October. You've been imperfect, but what I needed! 🧡
