I hope their essence brings you comfort and serves as a reminder that you are exactly where you need to be—in this moment, in this season, and throughout the journey of becoming.

Consider this as your invitation to become fully engaged during this hallowed period of the late summer.
It is the time to reap the insights of personal development and to ready your heart for the wonderful transformations that await.
