A wise woman once said.....

09/24/2026

Yesterday we experienced the Autumn Equinox 🍂, that brief moment in time where the world is in perfect balance, equal parts light and equal parts dark. 

And now, until December 21, each day will grow shorter and shorter… and each night will grow longer and longer. 

As I pondered the significance of the Autumn Equinox, this day of equilibrium, of balance, it brought me great comfort. 

Like many people, I long for more “balance” in my life. I keep dreaming that someday I’ll be able to achieve this place where my life feels perfectly balanced, where I feel like all my commitments are getting my equal attention.

But that’s not how nature works. Out of the 365 days of the year, there are only 2 moments where the world is perfectly “balanced” - the Spring Equinox and the Autumn Equinox. 

For the rest of the year, there are seasons of outwardness and inwardness.

🌱Spring ushers in the season of outward growth, of vibrancy, of energy, of life. 

🍂Autumn leads us to a season of drawing in, of quiet, of dormancy, of letting go. 

And even though the vast majority of the days are “unbalanced”... when you add them all up over time, they ARE balanced.

What comfort it is to know that our seasons of life will all balance out in the end. 

So if you’re in a season of outward growth and high energy… embrace it. You will get rest soon. 

If you’re in a season of drawing in and dormancy… embrace it. It’s preparing you for your next season.

You’re exactly where you should be, friend… and you’re here to learn. ❤️
