We’re talking about Reinvention

Welcome!

Here in Australia it’s the first day of Spring, and where I live you can feel it in the air. This is one of my favourite times of the year, when the weather turns from chilling your bones to a warmer (but still mild) freshness. The animals are getting frisky - the curlews have been actively looking for a nesting site in our paddock this weekend, much to the dismay of our dogs. Trees are all sprouting fresh new leaves and flower buds are starting to form.

For our northern friends, as you head into Autumn, it’s a time to breathe a sigh of relief that the heat of summer is (nearly) over and enjoy the renewed energy the cooler days bring.

Nothing says change quite so much as a change in season. And so here at The Calm Space for September we’re talking about Reinvention.

I am intrigued by Joanna’s question “has writing things down played a part in your own adventure in reinvention and making things happen?” Take a read of her article at The Writing Space and please let us know your thoughts - we’d love to hear from you!

Annie offers a wonderful example of her process of changing something she’s not happy with - at The Spiritual Space she outlines her tips for changing anger into something much more powerful.

As always, Angela offers useful and inspiring tips for beautiful organising transformations in The Organising Space - I long to be the butterfly but often find myself crawling around in mess just like the caterpillar.

Our other contributors also offer practical advice, hints, tips and inspiration on the path to evolving who we are in our relationships, in technology, in sustainability, in being sun conscious and in our finances.

As always, I guide you to The Breathing Space where once again Leah Maclean has worked her technical wizardry with Amy Palko’s beauitful photography. Isn’t this an amazing shot? Be sure to download your desktop background for September!

And last, but by no means least - no visit to The Calm Space this month would be complete without checking out The Sound Space. We profile The Favourites, a duo who really do make beautiful music.

You can download of one of their glorious songs (one of my favourites) Lovers In Peace - with our compliments! Please do leave a comment and let us know how you find their music. You can also be in the draw to win one of their CDs - Counting The Days - by registering for our Monthly Prize Draw.

I wish you a glorious month full of sunny days and open windows.

Namaste

    Respite from the heat of summer! Oh Karen if you only knew - it’s been the dullest August on record, I’ve hardly been out of jeans and a sweater and we’ve had days no weeks of rain. I’m pinning my hopes on September bringing a bit of sunshine

    And I’m envious of you guys at the start of spring!

    I am so sorry to hear about your August weather, Joanna! That doesn’t sound fun at all! I’ll try sending you some of our beautiful sunshine to help brighten your month!

    If all else fails, you could always hop on a plane and toodle out here for a month or two… (until summer hits, then you’ll really want to get home again, believe me) you’re always welcome.

Got something to say?
