Letting Go, Humility, and Great Decisions: October Newsletter
Hi everyone!
It’s autumn here in Northern California. The trees are putting on a firework display of color in preparation for dropping their leaves. I love this time of year. The natural world seems to beckon us to think about what no longer serves us, to celebrate it, and to drop it (with panache!).
Many people come to us having been on a path of self-improvement. I view self-improvement a little bit differently. I don’t think you need to be ‘improved’. There is not some perfect you that you will get to in the future. It’s not a matter of doing more or being better. I think of it more like autumn: what are you ready to let drop away? Your perfect, authentic self is already here; it can just be hard to see it under limiting beliefs, thoughts, stories, and emotions.
What beliefs, habits, and old patterns no longer serve you? What are you ready to drop?
I look forward to being part of your journey. I look forward to watching you release that which no longer serves you with the ease of the trees. 🍂🍁
I know that that is your true nature.
Love,
Tara Howley

Hello everyone, It’s February, and we are approaching Valentine’s Day. Here in Northern California, many of the trees and bushes are bare and dormant. When the earth goes quiet, we celebrate love!
