September has arrived!
It’s harvest month and the transition between summer and fall. We feel the unofficial end of summer with crisp mornings and cozy evenings. The leaves are beginning to fall, so remember every leaf that falls carries away yesterday’s worries. Let’s carry on and enjoy the new season!

“The International Day of Peace" is September 21. This is a time to invest in peace for everyone, everywhere, every day. Inviting us all to do our part for peace, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres wrote: “Peace is not just made at conference tables, but in classrooms, neighborhoods and everywhere people meet with open minds and open hearts. Together day by day, we can build a more just world with compassion, equality and dignity for all.”
Are you ready to celebrate the Fall Equinox on Tuesday, September 22? Temperatures drop, plant life slows down, and so do we. Days become shorter than nights as the sun rises later and nightfall arrives earlier. Days grow longer again.
The Harvest Moon of September appears on the 26th and is related to the Autumnal Equinox; it has to do with farming. This moon rises at sunset for several nights in a row, providing farmers with just enough light to finish their harvests before the hard frosts.
September brings a gentleness and slower pace, offering us the opportunity to prioritize, with rest, both physically and mentally, and to move into a new season. It's a time to pause, reflect, and step into the new season with intentions.
“September, you were a melody. October, let the harmony of fall begin.” — Unknown
