One Balanced Life

Fall, I love everything about it! The crisp morning air, the smell and color of the leaves, the return of socks and sweatshirts. It has always been a time of transition for me. A time of endings, beginnings, births, and losses. Also a time of renewal and reinvention. After a chaotic summer made crazy with remodeling projects, my husband’s (almost) three week absence, and my mother’s diagnosis of breast cancer (thankfully she is doing wonderfully) I’ve found myself needing to get back to the basics. That means taking time to regularly connect with myself (not using free time for laundry, painting trim, or working), “being” with my family vs. doing things with my family, and simplifying (do I need to keep the maternity bridesmaid dress that made me look like a giant raspberry?).

What does getting back to the basics mean for you?
