Everything about September inspires me – the light, the air, the colour.  I love the energy of September, its activities and the transition to soup and fireplaces, boots and sweaters.

From the time I was a little girl, I recall the experience of September.  Perhaps it is because it marks the month of my birth, though I think it is more than that.  There is a freshness to September.  The summer has taken a step back.   You can feel it – that lovely preparation for harvest is upon us.  Even the impending rains have a lusciousness to them and a sense of the rightness of their drops quenching the thirst of every blade and branch.  It feels like everything gets a revision in September – a new start whether or not the path or action we are taking is actually changing.

With nine more InfiniteFulfillment inquiries, QuintessentialYou Design is also undergoing some change, preparing for a new harvest.  In the weeks ahead, this ‘Brand New Year’ will bring a ‘New Year Brand’ that I am excited to share with you.  In the meantime, I am going to savour the experience of September’s Perfection and its evidence in every russet leaf, white-capped ocean wave, Indian Summer sunset, and cozy scarf.

This week’s living question – our question to live asks us to shed light on something fresh and new:

What experience of September do I savour?
