Seasons Change: Or, They Don’t?

I hope this post finds you all well and thriving. I wanted to take a moment to share some exciting updates from my life, reflect on the importance of taking breaks, and perhaps offer a bit of motivation as we transition into the final months of the year.

As we near the end of October, I can’t help but look forward to some fun trips that are just around the corner! We’ve planned some adventures for both October and December that I’m really excited about. There’s something about traveling that always brings a fresh perspective and a sense of excitement into my life. Whether it’s exploring a new destination or revisiting a favorite spot, I find that these getaways provide the perfect opportunity to recharge and reset. I’d call it a necessity in this adult life.

In my recent blogs, I’ve been talking about cozy weather and the seasonal changes we all look forward to. However, it’s (not) hard to believe that here in Albuquerque, New Mexico, we’re still experiencing those unseasonably warm days—hitting up to 90 degrees in the daytime! I can’t say I’m not ready for some crisp autumn air and cozy sweaters, but I guess the weather has its own agenda this year. It’s a gentle reminder that change often comes in unexpected ways, much like the changing seasons.

Taking breaks and allowing ourselves the time to step back from our daily routines is essential. These moments of pause can reignite our motivation and remind us why we do what we do. It’s not just about the destination but also about the journey. Whether it’s planning a trip or simply spending time doing what we love, breaks give us the clarity to refocus and pursue our goals with renewed energy.

Speaking of change, I want to leave you with a thought: Sometimes, we find ourselves waiting for change to happen rather than actively making it happen. Just as the weather has been unpredictable, we can’t always rely on external factors to bring about the transformation we desire in our lives. If we want something different—be it in our routines, our careers, or even our personal growth—we have to take the initiative to create it.

As I prepare for my upcoming trips and embrace the current warmth(I guess), I’m reminded that the power to change our circumstances often lies within us. Let’s not wait for the weather to cool down or for the perfect moment to arrive. Instead, let’s embrace the heat, seek out new experiences, and make the changes we wish to see in our lives.

I hope you all are enjoying this time of year, no matter the weather! Here’s to making the most of every moment and embracing the adventures that await us.

XOXO-

Lover Girl ♥️

P.S.

I want to shine light on the fact that supporting your friends and family means so much more than you think. It doesn’t mean coughing up money and it surely doesn’t mean spending all of your spare time on promoting your friend/families art work, yelling it from the rooftops.

Supporting anyone’s craft in 2024 is quite simple. With just one, double tap press on your screen. If an artist you know is promoting their craft, simply give them a like. If you’re feeling extra giving, maybe a comment?

It baffles me that we are in a day in age where our phones might as well be glued to our palms, but most if not all of us artist's are still fighting for the likes we feel we deserve.

So, to those of my lovely readers who actually support me, a million times thank you. ♥️
