Balance
Here we are in September. Where did July and August go??? Oh yeah I was making salves, powder, makeup, and working the Farmer's Market. Suddenly I realize that maybe I've been pushing a little harder than I need, working the days a little longer than I should, and not visiting the pool or beach like I'd like. Turns out I got a little wrapped up in my new baby, my shop side of the business. July is my favorite month and I hardly remember it---aside from an awesome supply of salves and product. I have passion for all parts of my life so sometimes I need a gentle reminder to balance. This time it was the turning of the calendar. Here's to balance may we crave it, strive for it, and remember it. Here's to a savored Autumn and refreshing change of pace. "We will be more successful in all our endeavors if we can let go of the habit of running all the time, and take little pauses to relax and re-center ourselves. And we'll also have a lot more joy in living."---Thich That Hanh
