I love September. It is my favorite month of the year. Some people might think that it is because it my birthday month, but it is really about what it represents to me and what I have made September mean. September represents change - the change of seasons, the shift from summer break to school starting, less daylight and cooler nights. For me, it also represents love. My love of fall flavors like pumpkin and apple, the smell of nighttime bonfire, my cozy sweaters and comfy sweatshirts and Saturdays of college football. And, my biggest love, me. I did not always feel that way and, to be honest, there are still days where I have to intentionally choose to love me. Every September, I take time to reflect on the last year and appreciate what I have done so that I can then let it go and look forward.
A few years back, I decided that I would celebrate my birthday with reflection and goal setting - looking back on the progress of the past year and then turning forward and giving space to all the dreams and goals of my future. Now, I still celebrate with some cake too, but the gift of unwrapping my potential, of pausing where I am and considering if it is the right path to stay on, has been one of the best gifts I have ever given myself. That is not to say it is easy, or that there are not days where I ask myself why I am pressing forward on a goal, but allowing myself to experience all of it and learn from it and grow into who I was always supposed to be is also fun and challenging and unexpected in so many ways.
So, as I add another layer to me with becoming a certified life coach, launching another goal out into the world this September, I am reminded that unconditional love is what makes it possible. Loving all of the process, even when I don't like parts of it, has made me appreciate the 50/50 of life and learn to embrace what the future holds, even if I don't know exactly what that is today. If you had told me five years ago that I would have sold my house, bought land, built a house, changed companies and gotten certified as a life coach, I would have laughed you right out of the room. But, here I am, having done all of those things because I loved myself enough to be open to possibility.
So, what could you make happen if you were willing to embrace your season of love and change?
