Happy Autumnal Equinox!
I invite you to enjoy this beautiful poem by my friend and colleague, Ben Martin. Now for a long exhale...

​This September day holds you
in the Balance between
the in breath and the out breath.
It sits, ever so briefly,
equipoised between
the light
and the dark;
between equal portions of night and day.
What an elusive thing, the Balance.
How wonder-filled to find that place--
to be held in the Balance,
to find equanimity
in the midst of such churn
and, at times,
what seems such reckless change.
If only for a moment,
may you embrace the Balance
and welcome in a stirring,
an excitement
as Autumn takes hold
revealing, once again,
its amazing, colorful tribute
to letting go
and to letting be.

​Ceremony script writing assistants at the ready!
Keeping close tabs on the process...

Hey friends, a heads up- as much as I love working here in Chicagoland, I am a traveling celebrant as well! I just finished the first draft of wedding that will take place next month in the Apostle Isles of Lake Superior. I've also gone further afield for celebrations of life. I want to go where I am needed.

​These fresh, cool, sunny September days are making me feel invigorated and ready shed the cocoon
​and breathe new life into my dreams. What yearnings of yours want to take flight?
( I spotted this inspirational beauty on a morning stroll last week.)
