Our transition month has arrived as the air turns crisp, leaves change, and days are shorter. 

November brings its familiar rituals: 

Election Day on November 3rd, sports seasons are well underway, the Turkey Trot is ahead, Thanksgiving recipes reappear, tables get longer, Shop Local gets a significant turn, and diverse cultural observances will take place.  All these things require some transformative action or thinking in some way.  

Above us the meteor showers will streak across the mid November sky, while down here, Pilates is definitely in the air - and our hiking trails remain exactly where we left them last.  To embrace the new season can take some grit, such that we keep moving, and stay focused.  

Making room for the people and traditions that matter, while leaving a little space for something new and giving back, takes grace, which can help remind us to be grateful too. Our local environment allows for getting out all season, and I'm so thankful for that.  

Speaking of getting out for all these fall happenings, don't forget about the Lamorinda Village Auxiliary's 3rd annual fundraiser, Sip & Savor Lamorinda -

November 6th from 5-7:30 at the Lafayette Community Center - bringing together local food, beverages and community while supporting healthy-aging programs for older adults. 

Plenty to behold this month Moraga! 

Stay engaged and we'll see you out and about,

Christine
