September & other new beginnings

These September days seem to hold all the potential one could ever dream of.

The crispy mornings creep their way in but by noon warmth still prevails.

Indulging in new music on youtube while I let my mind warm up to the idea of sharing thoughts here., The world offers a million distractions with each moment that passes. I patiently pull myself back to my point of focus each time my wondrous mind strays away. It's an ongoing process but awareness is key. Patience grounds me and reminds me that there is a gentle route and it is much more comfortable and fun to take than a lonely, cold one. We all endure the length of the journey, lately these thoughts have been driving me to identify with how I can make my world and the world around me more uplifting and pleasant., Not just for me but for the people in my life as well. All these thoughts have been swirling around for several months if not years now and I feel myself being pulled in the direction of holistic health. It's been an exciting path to venture down and although these thoughts have existed for a while now, I can feel myself ready to act on this intention and its a great feeling.

Clarity is a constant challenge for me. The thoughts inside my head seem to transcend and transition quicker than I can speak them and sometimes faster than I can write them down. Writing helps. By refining and starting a fresh list to help myself get a grasp of the day I find small moments of clarity. They are beautiful moments because I feel a great sense of understanding within them. A feeling that seems so fleeting in my life. Something I'd like to experience more of.

Things don't feel clear right now to me. I think I have always been a person that enjoys organizing and the mental benefits I've found come with taking the time to write thought down and be accountable to and for those thoughts. It's essentially a practice in self management. A practice I have come to enjoy.

Each night so far this month I have mindfully selected a hypnosis from youtube to fall asleep to. I love falling asleep knowing my subconscious is still soaking in and benefiting from this positive information.

As I take more time to acknowledge how powerful the mind is, I see it time and time again.

Things may be unclear but there is still very much a sense of movement and direction. Art projects for the month are being all lined up and booked and it has been truly wonderful to get out to create over the past few months with really inspiring artists that I am inspired by.

For now, here are a few photos of my squash in the garden this year.
