This post really got me excited for sweater weather You know what I love so much about autumn? That the sunrise matches my breakfast time and I can watch from my balcony, wrapped in a blanket or my favorite woolen sweater while eating hot apple and cinnamon porridge. So so gratifying πŸ§‘πŸŒ…

That sounds absolutely magical, Lieke! What a perfect autumnal morning ritual. I actually may have to copy you and try the same from my balcony. Thanks for the tip! πŸ˜‰πŸ§‘

Let me know how it feels. For me there’s just something about being outside first thing in the morning, especially in cooler weather!

The happiest of birthday months Liz! I love me a September too. My daughter was due on 24th September (but stubbornly stayed put until 28th!) This year she turns 13, another milestone πŸ™‚

Ahhh this reads like a love letter to my favourite month. You have captured the feeling of it wholly and completely, the cosy magic and the change in the air, the gathering and the letting go. Wishing you the most special birthday month, I love the sound of your celebrations and your deep intentional way of marking this threshold. Sending love and birthday hugs to you xx

Wishing you the most beautiful of birthday months as well, my sister. I thought of you a lot as I wrote about September. I’m so glad it came out as a love letter, because I find it so hard to put words to how I feel every single year when September rolls around. Something inside of me truly settles and I feel a familiar, nostalgic welcome back home again. Sending so much birthday love and many hugs right back to you. 🧑

Fabulous writing! I LOVE living & honouring the gifts of the seasons & marking them with the Celtic calendar. 🧑 Yesterday, I saw the first leaves on the trees turning a bright red. The inevitable falling away of summer & welcoming this beautiful, cozy season of Autumn. A few more ocean swims though while the warmth is still here! 😁

Thank you so much, DanicaπŸ™πŸΌ I’m so grateful to *meet* you and have you here. Sounds like we are kindred spirits, both drawn to living close to and in rhythm with the nature. It is such a magical way of moving through life, isn’t it? Autumn really is creeping in slowly- but, yes, a few more swims sounds absolutely delightful. Enjoy! 🧑
