Fall is a time loaded with change. The leaves are turning from green to an array of colors, school is starting up again and the heat of summer begins to calm down a little with each passing day. All this change can be both liberating and challenging. That’s why it is helpful to center oneself with positive affirmations that help remind us of our goals and what we are hoping for in life.
