Rainy days provide a great reminder to sit and notice, to rebalance your body, mind, and spirit with this wild, rhythmic gift.
As the droplets proceed to recede,
how does your body respond to this change?
Notice the sound of the tumbling stones as the sea filters away the debris. Is there anything you no longer need?
Can you release it with the receding waves?
Along the Mousam River, this urban body of water provides respite to the Canadian Geese as they float together in the cold. Notice how the waves of wind wash over the water and wild rose. Does this have impact on your mood?
A Maine sunrise over the Atlantic..Listen to the rolling dance of waves. Feel the ripples reach into your body. What do you notice of your own natural rhythms?
Energizing or peaceful? Notice the patterns of flow though this set of rapids. How does this movement impact your body? Your breath?
The beginning of a day's journey on the Allagash Wilderness Waterway commences with lifting fog and "silent" strokes. Notice how the paddling rhythm effects your body and breath?
Listen the the Hemlock and Cedar branches crackle over the coals along the Maine/Canadian border. Notice the wind's path across the flames. How do the sounds effect your body?
Listen to the lapping waves along Eagle Lake's shoreline as the sun settles into the west. How does this change in light effect your senses?
In the midst of a snowstorm, the heavy snow falls from the branches above creating a dance of droplets below. How does the mix of soft snowflakes and floating slush effect the rhythm of your breath?
Just after the rain on NH's Back Lake.... listen to the droplets fall from the nearby Spruce trees. Notice the subtle changes in the lake's surface. How does this stillness impact your body? Your breath?
Listen to the wind along the riverbank. Feel the ripples of the river in your body. How does this impact on your breath? Your mind?
Three minutes of peak leaf viewing!
A video series to share curiosity, guidance, & joy.
Embrace the days ahead as a time of renewal and preparation for an amazing Autumn.
For each of the 10 Day Count-Up!, we will provide a sharing for your wellness toolbox. Each gift carries the intention of helping us to pivot to a happier state of mind, body, & spirit as the new season approaches.
Expect to find invitations of a spiritual and practical nature, inspiration, and a sprinkle of Autumn joy. May you discover something that assists you in ways unexpected as you step into this spectacular season.
Day 1
How you see the world around you is important, some even say VITAL in this challeging time we are navigating.
Instead of the 10 Day count-down, we are Counting-UP to the Autumnal Equinox. Yes, there are 10 days of summer to celebrate with an invitation to embrace Fall at its beginning.
So this is a perspective check. The glass-half-full question. How you read your environment is crucial. We all read with a lense. Your important task is to determine at any given moment - what is your lense? Half full? Half empty?
For me…Tonight we paddled around “the island”. Surprisingly, I felt sad for missed opportunities this summer…for our decision to cut it short due to the wind. But wait! We are here NOW! This emotion of disappointment triggered my awareness for a pivot. A perspective pivot!
Put your face into the wind, feel the paddle brace the water, glide with ease and joy in this moment. And bam, we arrived home for a spectacular sunset.
You always have a choice.
✨Can you recall a pivot you made today?
✨What was your “island” offering a change in perspective?
Tomorrow awaits more.
Day 2
The wind doesn’t cling — it moves.
It stirs the trees, scatters the leaves, and sweeps away what’s ready to go.
Every gust reminds us: release can be a gift, not a loss.
We’re always reading our environment. But how we read it — that’s the difference between feeling stuck or free.
Maybe the thing you’re gripping is the very thing asking to be carried off in the breeze.
Let the wind be your teacher today. Let go — not with heaviness, but with a lift of joy.
✨ Is your lens heavy with what was? Or clear with what could be?
✨ What’s one thought, story, or pressure you’re ready to toss into the wind?
For me...Today, the Sunday blues.... sometimes these emotions sneak up on me. Finally went outside for a pause, a reset in the breeze, a pivot - an invitation to embrace the evening that remained and let my grouchy outlook drift on the wind. Ahhhhhhh.....
Day 3
Sky — Expand Your Perspective
The sky never rushes.
It holds the storms, the sun, the shifting clouds and makes space for it all.
When life feels cramped, small, or overwhelming, LOOK UP!
The sky is always there… vast, calm, and infinite. A reminder that you don’t have to figure it all out at once.
Your perspective is your weather.
You can choose to see only the clouds or maybe the light breaking through them.
(Or Mt Everest’s peak breaking through… I took this photo from the airplane after spending a week in Nepal. Never got sight of this mighty mountain from the ground due to the clouds, but once I set sail for home, voila! She flashed a goodbye...Eye-to-Eye from ABOVE the clouds. I flew home with the biggest smile.)
Life happens for us, and sometimes it invites us to zoom out, soften our focus, and trust the bigger picture.
✨What’s clouding your view right now? What light might be hiding behind it?
✨ Where can you expand your thinking instead of tightening your grip?
Day 4
Trees — See Through, Stay Rooted
Sometimes life gives us a different view — not from above, but through.
A hole in the tree. A break in the bark.
An opening that wasn't meant to be there… but now, it shows us something new.
What once felt like a wound may actually be a window. Even in loss or uncertainty, there is perspective. There is light.
And, what if the “gap” in your life isn’t a loss but a sacred opening?
You don’t need to see the whole forest to trust your place in it. The world may look uncertain, but your roots — your values, your truth, your quiet resilience — are still holding strong.
✨ What are you looking through right now — and what do you see beyond it?
✨ What steady truth is keeping you rooted, even when life feels uncertain?
