I’ve noticed that despite having seasons, my body still senses when changes are supposed to be happening (even when they’re not). Â Never is this more true than around the start of school. Â I think we’re all hard-wired to reset at this time of year…. and honestly, I like it. Â This year, I’m giving myself a little boost by spending my entire month of September back in Minnesota enjoying the changing environment. Â Words cannot express how excited I am to get a break from endless summer!
One thing I also notice about this time of year is how much I long to go back to College again. Â Although that time was life-changing, on a deeper level I sense that what I’m actually longing for is the transformation that period represented (and the feelings it produced as a result). Â Happily, that is something I can create RIGHT NOW in my current conditions, without needing to magically rewind time!
So, in celebration of this first day of classes at CSB/SJU, my invitation to you is to look at your life and see what is longing to be transformed in your current existence!
Love this – love that they used the Dr. Seuss quote that has been on my FB page since the get-go – love that the excitement and celebration could be used for just about any life-changing event – school, marriage, birth, birthday – or just a celebration of life itself. Thanks for sharing. Cherish your time in Minnesota – bet you’ll be going around singing, “Minnesota gurls – we’re unforgettable . . . ” Have fun!! Hugs. Chris
