The season of Autumn

Stepping into our forties and fifties brings harvest and recognition.

After coping creatively with change in everything from our life's familiar pattern and game. Some women deal with this change better than others. Many cling to the past and keep their children's room unchanged , keeping themselves desolate. While some transform it into a new healthy space this is symbolic of our choices of the turning from the emphasis on our families and others in our lives to a new emphasis on ourselves. We should exercise our creative power in different ways. Time to leave old patterns of accommodating everything in our schedule and to learn to see the beauty in every season of life.
