Happy October everyone! I just bought a pumpkin to put outside our front door. I love fall: chilly nights, warm days, and sweet treats. My family has a favorite chocolate-chip pumpkin recipe. I’ve already made two batches, and will likely make many more before Thanksgiving rolls around!

It’s also the perfect time of year for outdoor exercise. The sun isn’t too strong and the rain hasn’t started yet. I’ve enjoyed some runs along the American River Path. I’ve also been doing a lot of walking, lately, as I’ve experimented with making exercise more a part of my daily routine rather than a separate activity. This means strolling to the grocery store with a backpack on, or walking to the library when I have the time.

Whatever your pursuit, this season of decay (falling leaves, early setting sun) can be full of so much opportunity for new growth. So, sieze it while you can! Life is beautiful when you’re out there living it.

(And ski season is right around the corner!)

I leave tomorrow for NEDA in San Diego. Looking forward to connecting with lots of friends from around the country.
