I adore Autumn, it’s one of my favourite seasons. Of course, I say that every season, I love the turning circle of our year.

Autumn is a time of fruitfulness, of enjoying and collecting the bounty of our labours. It can teach us of delayed gratification and present joy all at the same time.

I read these wonderful prompts on Lighting Little Fires. Oh, beautiful. Make time to visit with her there. It’s a creative oasis with sparking fire-lighting gems too.

So, without further ado…

Food: What are five foods you love to eat in autumn?

Squash – its seasonal, delicious and I especially like “Sweet Mamma Squash”, it’s the coolest name. I have always wanted (in a fascinated, yet slightly squirmy way) to try or at least see a spaghetti squash! They grow like that. Wow.

Sweet Corn – we wait all year for it. A sweet-joy.

Courgettes – you can’t have too many, courgette crisps in the dehydrator, pasta, roasted with garlic. You can have too many marrows, we will accept courgette gifts but decline marrows.

Blackberries – blackberrying fun.

Apples – my favourite fruit and possibly favourite food. Om nom nom.

Gratitude: What three things are you grateful for this autumn?

You – for reading this, visiting my site, being here.

Me – being here myself, having the gift of this time and life.

Our Heritage Welsh Apple Trees Coming soon! From Ian Sturrock, a very lovely man.

Ripeness: What three things are ripe in your life right now?

My website – launched, birthed and born! Hooray

My time of rest – 2 months off from writing and sinking into learning and self-care, bliss.

Time of planning my new year – celtic new year 31st October (Calan Gaef) weaving the bones and the threads of my new year with the amazing Hiro Boga and Dreaming in the Dark.

Harvest: What three things are you ready to complete?

The first draft of my book Sick Chick to Trail Blazer (working title) – done, rest and replenish to fertilise the soil of my creativity for edits beginning in January.

This website – see it fly!

Joy.

Feasting: How will you share?

My website launch party! If you have missed it, dear one, see the video here. Road Blocks into Mounting Blocks, balloons, glitter, hot-seat coaching. You got it! 

Writing here with you, through this site, my newsletter and love.

Maturity: 

What have you grown into? 

My business, my power, my authority and strength.

What have you grown out of?

The fear, the hiding, the doubt.

School: If you could take five classes right now, from the school of your dreams, what would you study?  

What I am blessed to be studying currently:

Dreaming in the Dark,

Teach Now,

30 Days of Yoga,

Photo Meditations,

I would also, in my dreams, have time and energy to re-take The Morning Whip, because it’s just that good. And learnt to play the harp, this harp actually.

Your answers, care to share? I’m listening, talk here.
