Monthly Memo
Dearest Reader,
Hello October
One of the best things you
Can do for yourself is
Taking time to learn and grow.
Once you give yourself patience, you
Become your best friend. And the
Empathy, self-kindness and
Resilience are what you need to grow.
Autumn is spiritually considered "The Season of Everything", because of its natural cycles of change and reflection. Harvest mirrors the human experiences of life, death, and renewal. It is a time for expressing gratitude for what has been gained. A call to release what no longer serves us. And and invitation to prepare for new beginnings.
May the Full Blood Moon on October 7th heal you.
May the New Moon on October 21st bring a fresh start and
May Samhain/Halloween on October 31st bring you peace and many blessings!
Warmest Wellness Wishes,
Petra
