Moving Intentionally into Fall

This fall we chose to practice soulful living as a family. Instead of buying more toys for our son, which is easy with an only child, we invested in experiences that bring presence and memory. We visited our favorite pumpkin patch at Oma’s in Lakeside, spent slow afternoons in museums, took an overnight trip to Perris to see Thomas the Train, and watched the Blue Angels with our faces lifted to the sky. Each moment reminded us that what stays with children is not the toy, it is the feeling of being alive and together.

At home we made space for this season too. My husband built me a small shed for my décor, Soul y Sombra materials, and private practice supplies. Before we moved anything into the shed we decluttered my office and our garage. It felt so good to make space, which also invited clarity and flow.

Fall is guiding us toward what nourishes. Less accumulation, more intention, and a life that feels both simpler and more full.
