How Does Autumn Inspire Rich Colors of Change for You?
In just a few days, a new season begins – and with it, comes an extraordinary amount of change. I love the rich, vibrant colors of autumn. It’s my favorite season of the year – and oh, so inspiring!
How does this colorful season inspire the “rich color” within you? How does it spark your creative process?
Imagine taking an autumn walk and being surrounded by the richness of change. You see the leaves changing colors, perhaps dropping to the ground. You notice that squirrels are running around, looking for nuts to store for the winter. You notice the flower beds are getting a little more bare. You can sense that everything is changing – in preparation for a new cycle.
In nature, there is nothing that is not continually renewing itself – and that constant renewal is out of the ground of what no longer is.
Nature knows that in order to renew itself, it must completely shed the old.
If we want to make a fresh start in life, we have to put ourselves where a fresh start actually takes place – in our heart and in our mind. We have to truly “feel” the change – and really “desire” the change. And once that’s achieved, we make up our mind that, yes – this change is welcomed.
This is a deep knowing that often can’t be explained in rational terms. It’s what I call intuition – and it serves as a guiding light when one senses that a change is the next right step.
Nature is constantly changing – without hesitation. It “just is.”
So during this colorful season, allow yourself to be fully released from the old way of doing things – and bask in the energy of self-renewal.
What colorful new beginnings are wanting to emerge for you?
These are the types of rich questions that we’ll be exploring in next month’s Moonlight Journaling Retreat – where we’ll be dabbling with 18 different journal writing techniques as we journey through the moon phases during a real-time 28-day lunar cycle.
Come join a beautiful and very sacred circle of creative souls – and dance with your inner wisdom as you explore the various aspects of yourself, your life, and your relationships with others – through the art of journal writing.
Here’s to a glorious season of change – filled with rich color!

I love the brilliance of autumn too! Super insightful of you to note the elegance of nature and how in order for new growth we need to shed the old. I also think this season prepares us for the dormancy of winter before we spring forth. Here in Australia it’s spring with its warmth rains and budding blooms.
Thanks Tina !

I love this Tina. I’m always inspired by nature and the natural rhythm of renewal, release, and dormancy. I know for me fall also inspires me to release the thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs that no longer support my growth.
