The sun still shines bright, though abridged and hemmed in between the new dawn and the waning dusk hours. The fall tilt of the Earth in our northern climes ushers in the magic of the season, cueing summer to exit stage left and allowing the autumnal dancers to make their way across the canopies of the woods and suburban forests.

This September sun is a special sun—my favorite sun. Watching the excitement of young children starting a new school year under its rays, at bus stops around the city, makes me smile. The anticipation and nerves of the “next” overtake all of us.

What charms—or nervous energy—does September bring to you?

Be good to yourself and those around you. Offer an encouraging smile to the children with anxious energies as they embark on their new school journeys.

Looking forward to seeing you in the Shoppe this month!
