Early Morning Walk – Lake Ontario – Rochester, NY – August, 2019
Seasonal.
Life is seasonal.
It is cyclical.
Recognize the season.
Embrace the cycle.
Let go of a past phase.
Choose to move forward.
Do it with peace.
Do it with clarity.
Live life joyfully
through its seasons.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
Good morning Jodi, beautiful joy to start my day.

Feels like it just started but I can feel and smell fall

Me too. I have ten days left until I go back to school. That means summer is coming to an end. I feel fall in the air here…it’s cooler and many flowers and greenery is going by. I love fall, just wish summer was a bit longer! Have a great week!😍❤️

Beautiful peaceful photo with equally beautiful words of inspirational sound advice. You bring to mind some words that I jotted down several years ago from one of Bronnie Wray’s books : “Embrace the seasons and cycles of your life. There is magic in change.” Thank-you!

Stunning photo and calm thoughts…wonderful combination. PS–I’ve been working on an historical novel about the Erie canal, much set in my version of Rochester in 1823-32. Hoping to polish it this winter for submitting.
