Change is visible in the natural world. Are we to follow? Fall is always a time of change. Looking outside the garden is coming to an end, the leaves are turning, the squirrels are scurrying around and quickly gathering for the upcoming cold season. It's like there is an anticipation in the air that you can feel. Things are changing!

Is our life flourishing? It evokes images of abundant gardens and green growing fruit trees. We all want our lives to be abundant and to flourish. Many define flourishing as well being and a sense of peace and happiness.
