Well in the windshield yesterday. After that I started seeing them everywhere. My garden of vegetables are ready to harvest and the squash blooms are still coming strong. I have one giant (for me) pumpkin that’s dark and starting to think of changing colour. A doe has been sneaking in at night to snack on my brassica tops but as I’ve harvested all but the Brussels sprouts I’m not to worried, hopefully she sticks with them and leaves the raspberries alone. The potato plants have collapsed so it is close to time to dig in and see what is beneath the surface. I’m a fall gal myself and looking forward to the cooler weather and hikes through the crunchy colourful leaves. I love the energy of fall, the cooler nights, and damp mornings, dew shinning on the fading foliage like gems honouring them as they fade away into the dark time of the year. I have enjoyed the bounty of the garden immensely this summer, and as it starts to wind down into the fall, I am also switching to harvest mode. Looking back on the areas in my life where I have put growth as a priority and now want to reap the benefits. It has been a year of blessings of growth and moments of contractions into the stillness to integrate, for me. I find these ups and downs, the ebb and flow don’t throw me off kilter like they used too, so that there is a win in my world. I started the year with a business in mind, and threw myself full on into its conception and actualization. It actually went way further then any other spiritual based business I have created. Yet at some point along the way, I made a conscious choice to stop and take a really good look at my life. It turned out that I really don’t want a fulltime healing practice with clients and the pressure to create content, and write on a schedule. Now I am not (as I have learned to never use the word never) at the moment looking to build that business model in a traditional sense, I will continue as I have over the summer in being present on my Circles in Nature Facebook page/group with the card reading aspect, as that is what feels right and light at the moment. I will still take clients for one-to-one sessions of Reiki and energy work, if the need arises. It just isn’t my focus at this time. I was led back inward, just as the garden starts to turn inward toward the fall harvest, I am as well. Preparing for the long dark nights, where I will study and train for me, following my own inner compass to be, to be exactly who I am and who I need to be in this moment in time. Because I am drawn to share these steps of my journey, I will continue to write them out and post them for others in case there is a nugget or gem hidden in my path that helps another. My focus though for the time being is on harvesting in my garden, the figurative and literal ones.
