Clear your weeds. (quote)

developing a routine can help make things start happening again.

good things.

transformations.

just look at nature - the seasons represent the "ultimate routine", year in year out, seemingly the same, but always filled with cycles of growth, death, rebirth, change, decay, seeds, colors, surprises, repitition, wonder...

i've noticed that just when things seem to become "normal", soon after that's when everything is shaken up a little bit so we can move on to the next step. so be prepared for the next great opportunity in your life, it may be right around the corner. always moving forward. the destination IS the journey.

today's quote:

"Life is like a garden. Quite naturally, leaves wither and flowers fade. Only if we clear the decay of the past then and there can we really enjoy the beauty of the new leaves and flowers."

(Mata Amritanandamayi)

Are you starting to be able to see and enjoy the beauty of your new garden? Fall is a great time to remember that are all right where we need to be right now, in order to clear out our past weeds and dead leaves, to make room for the new.

Sometimes it's more obvious, but it's happening all the time. We are cleaning house. So take time now to enjoy the changes. Appreciate how far you've come. Notice where you've advanced.



Really see your changes and give yourself a little pat on the back.

Are you a little bolder now? A little more flexible? More easy to accept change? More forgiving? More adventurous? More daring? Nicer, funnier, stronger? More grateful for things in the moment? We all probably have several areas that have grown a great deal recently. Let's notice them this week and appreciate how we've advanced as people. That's the only way we'll be able to continuously move on to whatever's next.

Have a fantastic rest of the week!
