Welcome, Sweet November!


I love November!

Not just because it’s my birthday month is it my favorite month of the year, but it is the season of change that November brings with her. The leaves are changing and beginning to fall. People genuinely seem happier and smile more brilliant smiles. The days are cooler and less humid, which means for me that my hair is less frizzy and easier to manage (what woman wouldn’t appreciate that?).

November reminds me of all the little things and the precious people I should appreciate. With the abundance of her harvest, she prepares me for the hustle and bustle of the season that is approaching, and she saturates my heart with gratitude and reflection. Sweet November—I wish I would carry November in my spirit every season of my life, so that I could remember to be thankful, even during the seasons of hurricanes, wild fires, drought, and death.  But for now, I will embrace this first day of November and the twenty-nine days that follow, as I embrace the change she brings with her, with a heart being renewed and a life prepared for an even richer harvest than years past… Oh, sweet November… Welcome. Welcome. Welcome.
