The Richness of Color . . .

      It's finally arrived . . .  the magnificent Fall colors that add such richness to the landscape and rolling hills of our "Indiana Home." I can speak from my heart that the palettes of Fall colors are my most favorite ones that reminds me of my childhood. I lived most of my grade school years in Illinois, the colors of Fall opened my heart to a sense of ahh and wonder. "How can leaves have such a variety of colors" stirred my creative senses. Perhaps it was the multitude of shades and hues that nudged me to walk the woods behind our home.  All of my senses were awakened with the sounds of scampering squirrels, falling hickory and walnuts, leaves dropping on my hat and coat, the crunching of leaves beneath my feet, crisp air on my face and the unique scent of freshness that filled the air. While I love and enjoy the uniqueness of each season, there is something about Fall that has always stirred my very soul. 
      Diversity! Perhaps it is the uniqueness of each leaf that brings wonder to my heart. How can two similar color leaves have such uniquely different patterns? How can the same tree shed a variety of color leaves? Perhaps that is why I love to rake a pile of leaves and jump into the center.  I have never seen a child have to be told to jump into a pile of raked leaves, there simply something enticing and heart awakening that brings such a thrill to young (and old) people alike. Makes me wonder about all this "diversity stuff." Perhaps simply jumping in will give those concerned about such things the opportunity to discover the freedom that comes with getting out of their head filled "should's and shouldn't's and simply enjoy the playfulness that comes with the diversity and wonder "The Richness of Color" offers.   
P.S. And if you are a parent taking your kids "Trick or Treating," try walking up with your kids rather than sitting in the car . . . I'll bet you a bag of M&M's you will enjoy Halloween more going to the door with them!

EVENTS: 
Saturday, November 1, from 11a.m.-5p.m. will be our last "Infinite Possibilities" retreat for 2025.  Read more about this on our Community Events link.  Deadline to sign up is October 29. I promise you will see life from a different perspective.

Another Super Moon! November 5 around 7:19 a.m. is the next Full Moon, often referred to as the "Beaver Moon." What exceptional opportunitites for creating and supporting one's dreams/goals/desires the Sky Nation has offered us in 2025! There is ample evidence our planet is growing and stretching and with those gifts we are given the assistance of the universe to take ownership of our highest and best potential to create the life and world we truly desire.  Do a bit of research online, there are many very wise souls offering support and evidence we're birthing a New World. Go into your Heart, and use the information you glean through your Head knowledge to find the Truth that's waiting to light a fire in your life.  And, remember Martin Luther King's powerful words, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that!" And, Gandhi's "Be the change you wish to see in the world!"

Visit the 13 Clan Mother link to read about the beautiful and powerful teaching, "Walks Tall Woman," offers with the month of November. She teaches us ways of "Walking the Truth,"  She states: "When we are living examples of our philosophies, we are walking our personal Truths".  "Reputation is based upon integrity and inner knowing, not on the opinions of others."

GIFT IDEAS: And, if you have not had the opportunity to read one of our "Head to Heart Talks books, they would be a great gift to yourself, a friend or a "hard to know what to get" person on your Christmas list.  We recommend reading Book One first, since it is a series of 27 separate stories. That makes reading the book fit most busy lives. Read more about both books on our "Books+" link and a few quotes from the books on our "Quotes from the book" link.
