Here we GO!

So this morning I am heading out to frolic in the beauty of this fall before the leaves are gone and winter lands......hopefully gently........I mentioned that I used to hike The Grand Canyon of PA as a college gal.....my friends from home, and my roomies being the ones I headed there with on some weekends when I was in college......so it feels full circle to bring my parents, and my kiddos to a place I loved so long ago, and experienced on my own.....and the weather will be lovely and I am excited! I also have some business building stuff in my sights this fall....I have a lot of balls in the air right now, all of them needing my attention......and I am trying to nurture them all, and focus on what I want to grow, and I am needing to form and plan my new girl groups in the new year.....and I have a women's series hatching for women that are READY to run also 2027......women ready to grab hold and live in a new way and GROW.....and I am excited because that was where my roots took hold at one point.....the place where it all began in my church.....and then in my living room.....women communing and connecting and working towards what they want......and it worked:) I still get messages from those grass roots ladies......the founding ones......and they still remark about the power in those circles......so I definitely need to use some time to organize and plan as October rolls to a close.....I woke up so early this morning, not wanting to.....wishing to sleep some but I decided to surrender to it and get up.....and get some stuff done around the house and pack our stuff to head out.....life has been hi def lately for sure......pushing me, challenging me, and growing me, but also healing me deeply and evolving......reminding me that things don't stay the same......that is one of my blind spots in life.....my Taurus loves routine some, and loves to have life rolling in familiar places....and my journey has forced me, and helped me to embrace change, and lack of all of that predictability in a way I never thought it would, but I can fall into that quiet hum of routine if I am not mindful of it.....and I am finding I am out of the box most of the time lately.....reimagining so much of my life, because that part lives in me too....especially at work....I am now teaching a new grade level, and really pushing myself, and growing myself to try new things, and my new routines are coming together in a way that I love and hope will yield the results I want......education is so layered in this day and age....and requires an adaptability that can feel daunting some days....but can also allow for growth and evolution, for everybody......I guess as I sit here this morning I am feeling really content.....content with where all the parts of my life are....I have great friends.....my kids are healthy and happy......I feel healthy and happy......we have everything we need, and most days want........November will find me on a retreat with my church and doing a podcast with a fellow business owner, expanding my business stuff and that all feels perfect.......and while this year has flown by, it has also felt so evolutionary......I left another version of me behind last year......and that is the point right?? The woods are calling to me this weekend......and I am answering that call and for today that is more than enough:) Happy Saturday:)
