Spiritual stirring

Autumn has always been an amazing time of the year for me. Even before I found my path, it always had a magical pull to it! Since beginning this journey, I can say that has not changed but only gotten stronger. I can feel the pull of Autumn calling to me. Reminding me that the year is coming to a close, and the time of inner peace and evaluation is coming.

I had a great summer! For the first time in time, that I can remember, I was not overly excited to see summer fade into the sunset. I didn't have some exceeding amazing summer, just one full of time with my kids and out in nature. It was perfect. We hiked mountains, spent time in the woods, and we planted a garden. I spent so much time in my garden barefoot, feeling the energy of the earth flowing threw the plants and also into my feet. I enjoyed tending it and watching it grow into something my family could use. We had an atypical summer with our weather, so things may not have done as well as they could have. But I'm impressed with what we had.

My middle child also asked to create a fairy garden. I smiled and joined in the fun. A week after he planted what he felt they would like and putting some colorful rocks in his garden, mushrooms sprouted! The moment he saw them he ran around the yard screaming and giggling that the Fae had moved into his Fairy Garden. He was over the moon excited, and I could see the magic coming from that moment. I swear I heard the jingle of a bell as the Fae enjoyed the happiness they created in such a small boy. Since that moment my garden took off with even more gusto. Thanks to the Fae I will never know, but I assure you, I thanked them for their watchful eye just the same.

So here we are entering September. The kids and my sun kissed skin still showing and enjoying the weather we still have. But the hours are getting shorter. The time of the dark half is quickly approaching as the Autumnal Equinox is just around the corner. And with that, I can feel the pull of my inner spiritual stirring! I enjoyed and noticed all that the world showed and the magic that was present all summer. But I always feel a stronger pull in the Autumn. I notice things with a different eye and a different light. I never feel a turn or feel un-spiritual throughout the year. But in Autumn, it's as if I get a zap. I feel a stronger pull and then, I start to prepare myself for more inner peace and reflection. Time to look at what I can do to increase my spiritual self.

I'm ready. I feel a stirring to change some. That change being to see an increase in my spiritual growth with my children. I feel it is time. What a great season we enter. Full of beauty and magic!
