Autumn Updates & Apple Chutney!
I love autumn as it is a season of great clarity for me and is typically the time of year that I re- assess what I have been putting my energy into and how I want to create positive changes going forward.

My New Year
Today is my birthday and so is my personal New Year. I am 36 today which I think is a great number as I have a thing for 3′s, 6′s, and 9′s… Each year I like to journal about how my year went and what my intentions are for the year to come.
