With the slight chill entering the nights, brightly colored leaves adorning the sidewalks and a clean crisp feel to the air, fall has “fallen” upon us. As we enter stores and see pumpkins and jack lanterns, specials for cranberry sauce, we know that Halloween and Thanksgiving are around the corner. With the change of seasons comes an invitation to change us. Each season extends its blessings as a way to give us the opportunity to change.
“The first step toward change is acceptance. Once you accept yourself, you open the door to change. That’s all you have to do. Change is not something you do, its something you allow.”
