I don’t plan on making this a long blog, but let’s see how it goes…

I have always found September to be a weird month. It is the end of Summer, the weather changes and the cold begins to set in. For many, it is a difficult month. Less parties, darker days, that looming idea that Winter is coming. It may be the reason that it puts people off their axis. I generally end up retreating in the month of September. Energy is important and so is the exchange of it. People act kind of funny and odd, and it is most likely because they are going through something, but I am still careful about what I choose to absorb and not. Same goes for what I choose to transmit. It appears this blog might be longer than I expected. 

Retreating for me is a moment of self-reflection. I will spend some days doing absolutely nothing and just relax, and this pause will allow for more creativity and ideas to bloom. I also get back into my workouts and healthy eating in a more consistent fashion. My more structured self helps balance out my unstructured self, and together, they kind of make it happen.

Writing is my saving grace. Some texts I keep, some turn into songs, others are just ideas on hold for a future time. The coloured post-its can be seen all over my room, and I end up stacking the notebooks in my purse. Without noticing, I end up healing and flowing into the future of my art. This is how my art is born. So in summary, it is in loving myself, setting boundaries, and taking the time that I need for me, that I re-energize and blossom into something better; moving from one season to the next.
