With Gratitude

Hi friends!

If you joined me live or on Zoom last week, you know that we are practicing with gratitude this month. So many things for which to be thankful, and November is the perfect time to practice that.

Here's something that I've been noticing...I take a walk just about every day. It's a great way for me to connect to nature, move my body, and enjoy the outdoors. I've been watching one specific tree in the park behind me these past few weeks. It is amazing. It stops me in my tracks daily. Please observe:

November 4th

Definitely grateful for this view.

All of the maple trees, and especially this one, have been simply glorious this fall. Each one is uniquely beautiful. Now, with the winds and the rain, their leaves are starting to float down to earth. I stand and watch and think about confetti on New Year's Eve!

“Sometimes I need
only to stand
wherever I am
to be blessed.”
— Mary Oliver, "It Was Early"

Just a reminder that there are no classes this week—I hope you can take a walk outside and enjoy the autumn beauty near you.

With gratitude,

Nina G
