Today is a full day of marching band competition. We decided to pack a more nourishing option for dinner in-between sessions vs finding a nearby restaurant. Supporting from the stands still requires a healthy meal and tailgating in the parking ramp is a fun option! With a little planning, it all works out!

🙌 I enjoy fall because it feels like a time to let go of what we no longer need, and focus on internal growth during the cooler months. Listen to the leaves, enjoy how they change color, and take a moment to pause for yourself. 🍂

I think fall teaches us something about being alive.

Every year, the trees become breathtaking. Brilliant reds. Golden yellows. Burnt oranges.

And we know it won’t last.

Maybe that’s part of why we pay such close attention.

We don’t look at a beautiful tree and think, “I’ll come back and look at it next month.”

We stop. We take the picture. We go for the walk. We call someone over and say, “Look at this.”

Because we know soon, it will be gone.
And maybe God has something to teach us in that.

Scripture tells us that our lives are brief, too.

“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” —Psalm 90:12

I used to think verses like that felt a little depressing. Like a reminder that time is running out.

But maybe numbering our days isn’t supposed to make us afraid that they’re running out.

Maybe it’s supposed to wake us up to the ones we’re living right now.

To notice more. To linger longer.

To receive what God has given us today without being so consumed by how long we get to keep it.

So hold your babies.

Listen to the story your child is telling you.

Sit a little longer with your parents. Let them know you’re grateful.

Take the walk. Watch the sunset.

Look around the table and take it in.

Notice the ordinary things you might someday miss.

And thank God for what is here while it is here.
Because fall reminds us that something doesn’t have to last forever to be worth loving deeply.

The fact that a moment is fleeting doesn’t make it any less of a gift.

Maybe knowing our days are numbered isn’t an invitation to sadness and anxiety.

But an invitation to awe.

To gratitude.
To presence.

Don’t let the fact that it won’t always be this way keep you from loving the way it is right now.

You don’t have to know how long you’ll get to keep something to be grateful that God has given it to you today.

Look around at this ordinary, fleeting, beautiful life God has given you.

And whisper,
“Thank You, God. I see it.”

Happy first day of Fall!🍂🍁

Stress happens. How do you manage it?
For me, I like to get outside and connect to the earth.
🌱 Walk barefoot
☘️ Pull some weeds
🍃 Sit and listen to the sounds around me

Grounding is a tool I use to help keep my system regulated and in check.

Out of the six pillars of health and wellness I coach on, stress is one of them. If you need some support in this area, let's connect.
