We find ourselves standing at the threshold of a new chapter, the beginning of August which represents the last leisurely days of summer and the approaching responsibilities of fall.

For many, August signifies a return to routines after vacations and holidays. Although the thoughts of back to school and back to routines may feel daunting, it also presents a chance to approach our schedules with newfound excitement & determination.  Let’s carry the spirit of summer’s freedom and creativity into appreciating the beauty of organization and schedules!

August embodies a bittersweet transformation. The vibrant colors of blooming flowers begin to fade (or at my house die 😊) I am ready to start fall flower baskets and change out the bedraggled ones from too much heat!

August especially holds promise for personal growth and self-improvement. It offers a clean slate, inviting us to set new goals, and make positive changes. I love watching the kids get new notebooks and backpacks. It sends me into a new office supply spin and I love it! Students everywhere are getting their new teachers and schedules with excitement, anticipation and a little trepidation! I kind of approach August like that too, I like to find new friends and teachers/mentors to help me finish out my year in style.

Finally, the beginning of August serves as a gentle reminder that life is an ever-changing journey, and each day brings new opportunities. Embrace this month with enthusiasm and excitement.  Go buy new school clothes, whether you are going back to school or not!  Step forward with confidence, knowing that we have the chance to make a positive impact on the remaining 2023.

Happy August!
