Happy Monday, and Welcome to Fall! 🍂

Good morning, and welcome to a fresh start as we celebrate the September Equinox! It's a perfect time to reflect on what you've been harvesting—whether in your thoughts, actions, or wellness practices. I've been learning to be gentle with my thoughts while adding daily movement to invite peace and ease into my body. How about you?

What's new with me? I'm thrilled to share that I received my Aqua Certification in early September and am officially teaching Aqua Yoga. This is a personal achievement I'm truly proud of! Confession: I love it! 💦 It's a rejuvenating way to connect with water and body movement, bringing another level of calm and energy.

October is National Wellness Awareness Month, and I have some special offerings to help ease those sneaky mind-chatter moments that tend to pop up. Curious? Check out the complete list on the website, where you'll find plenty of ways to balance mind and body this fall.

Fall Wellness Tip:

• Essential Oil of the Season: Oregano 🌿 — Known for its healing properties, it's an excellent companion for the colder months. Add a few drops to your diffuser and let the soothing aroma warm your home and heart.

Yoga Posture of the Month:

• Mountain Pose (Tadasana) — Ground yourself in strength and stability. When practicing, repeat this mantra: "I AM ENOUGH."

Mountain Pose Basics

Pose type: Standing posture

Targets: Full body

Benefits: Mountain Pose improves your postural and body awareness by stacking your shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles. It can counter the effects of prolonged sitting at a computer by reminding you what it feels like to release your shoulders away from your ears.

And if you've ordered and read my novella, From Bitter to Better: A Chocolate Momma's Journey to Self-Discovery, I would LOVE for you to post a 5-star review or video on Amazon. Your feedback is incredibly valuable to me!

Big News! I'll tap with ABC-TV's Here and Now with Sandra Bookman on October 9th. Even more exciting is my partnership with Olivia Smashum from Blue Olive, who will style me for my appearances. Look at God! I'm so excited to talk about my novella, and I'll share the airdate soon.

There is so much to look forward to this fall! Remember, it's important to stay grounded, stay present, and embrace this transformation season. Let's be together. 🍁
