Harvest time
Journal prompt
1. Bearing witness
Dehumanizing treatment of Haitians seeking refuge broke my heart this week. I’m working on becoming a better, braver witness.
2. Coach Beard
I co-sign these life lessons from last week’s Ted Lasso, “Beard After Hours.”
3. Harvest time
Welcome to autumn.🍁 In pagan tradition, this is a time to harvest, give thanks, let go, and reflect on balance. It is also a time for listening to Neil Young.😉 Blessed be!
4. Journal prompt
What will you put away this season, as you prepare for a quieter, darker time?

Walk-and-talk coaching is back! These sessions are open to both in-person and phone clients on Mondays at 12pm and 1pm ET. They are a fantastic opportunity for inexpensive 1-on-1 support, with the bonus of extra movement in your day.
