    Seasonal Simplicity

    Notice the way morning light falls differently as the season shifts—find a patch of sunlight and sit in it for a moment.

    Prepare a small bowl of apple slices with a dusting of cinnamon. Eat them slowly, one by one.

    Write one line in your journal beginning with: “This week, I prepare by…”

    As we step into autumn, may you prepare your skin, soul, and space with gentle rituals, cozy scents, and moments of reflection. Here’s to a radiant and restful September.
