Fall Passion:

By

Well, it's that time of year again and I have to say it is my favorite season.   The leaves on the trees have turned into to glorious orange and beautiful shades of burgundy (My favorite color). Fall is the perfect time of the year to fall in love or renew your love! Just picture it, the earth is sprinkled with leaves to cushion your feet as you stroll along the concrete pavement, the air is crisp and the breeze is gentle and cool. To counteract that cool breeze, you have the closeness of your lover's body embracing yours as you graze the freshly fallen golden leaves beneath your feet as the stench of romance fills your lungs while the birds sing sweet music in your ears.

Ok—okay, so enough already about love and romance, the gist is how to incorporate those feelings of love, joy, and newness into your life.  Here are my top five things to do each Fall:
  1. I redecorate my home incorporating the colours of fall: burnt orange, golds, and earth tone. It does not have to be the entire home--it could be something as small as door wreath/swag or changing your beddings. The dining room table is my most favourite thing to do. Change the table cloth, napkins, napkin holders, and dishes, and center piece to more fall tonne for a quick refreshing update.                          
  2. Enroll in a new class such as yoga--which is what I am doing this fall---hot yoga is a great fall detoxifier, but will tell you more about it in a separate blog.  Belly dancing is also a great and a fun way to get your groove back on,  or you may enroll in  a language course or anything to keep yourself abreast. 
  3. Treat yourself to at least one new outfit: be it a nice colour-trend coat, a trendy pair of boots, a new scarf or bag whatever it is, so long as it will lift your spirit. After all, you deserve it.   
  4. Personally, my most favorable thing to do is to take a family vacation to the Caribbean--it is quiet and relaxing as the summer crowd heads home.  
  5. Last but not least, are those long evening walks--and even if you don't have a romantic partner right now, take a child or a pet or go solo--but take the time to embrace yourself because love starts with self--so, take those evening strolls to reflect and truly get to know and love yourself.

A Personal Sunday Reflection on the Three Stages of Life: Rest in Peace, My Brother.

By
A personal Sunday reflection of my brother’s life and legacy, in what I call the three stages of life—birth and development, the pursuit and the chase, and sickness and dying— illuminating the gift of mortality. Rest in peace, my brother. Life often demands reflection in its quietest moments. It's no wonder some people are always busy. The recent passing of my brother, Donovan, brought me to one of these moments—confronted by the stillness of an early morning ten days after his departure, I had an epiphany . In that silence, I considered the arc of life, its inevitable stages, and the truths that define us. From the beginning of birth to the vigour of youth and its pursuits of adulthood, to the finale—the fragility of aging and dying. I contemplated that life unfolds in three distinct but interconnected phases: birth and development, the pursuit, and sickness and dying.   Birth and Development: The Foundation of Self Life begins with hope and infinite potential. Each birth represe...
