Back To School!

It's been quite a while since I've done a new post, and the summer days are getting shorter and shorter....I'm noticing the sun gentley settling outside my window right now, with the faintest breeze blowing. And my mind drifts towards sharpened pencils, pink pet erasers, and composition books-that's right, it's back to school time!

More so than New Year's or birthdays, 'back to school' was always a time of promise and renewal. I couldn't wait to get going, get started studying and burying myself in books. But, this great hope did not come without a tiny piece of dread...and anxiety.

So now, as I see those bright yellow school buses rolling past, I harbor that anxiety somewhere...in my backpack next to my pencils maybe. But I try to remember that the summer was fun, and now it's time to get back to work. Many of you also have that anxiety present-remember to notice it, honor it, and let it go. It served it's purpose back when you ate fluffernutter for an entire year. And now, you are a grown up and in more control.

Expect more regular posting here, and thanks for the great summer. I myself am actually headed into a 9 month Certificate Program in Meditation and Psychotherapy! Can't wait to get out my books and pencils, and study hard.
