I love how fall brings cozy sweaters, hot drinks, warm socks, and the desire for connection with our partner, our family, and our community. I love how we start to look inward as the winter approaches, take some inventory, and start making plans for our coming new year.

I also want to take time to honor the season, both in the beautiful colors, changing weather, and grateful hearts that it brings. So many clients reach out to us at this time of year, looking for support for coming babies this winter or the following year. Doulas and educators reach out too, looking for training opportunities and things they can add to their tool bag of skills to offer their clients in the new year. And our families reach out too, making holiday plans and thinking about gift giving season.

If you are feeling anxious about all the changes coming, know that this season won't last, and that you either get to endure or enjoy it only for a brief time. We welcome this cozy time with you and hope you have connection and love wrapped around you as we move into the chilly next few months.
