Every month I write down my intentions for the month. I love to sit down and review the prior month and write down my intentions for the following month. These are intentions I want to actively work towards without pressure or consequences. I find it to be a beautiful reminder of things I wish I did more often. I re-read my intentions from time to time and love that I am gently pushing my own boundaries. This new life-style has been a blessing with some challenges. I love being about to follow my own rhythm and pass but I also need to feel challenged. I am looking to learn something new: a skill or develop a new passion but I also want to challenge myself daily to improve my life and my family life. I am sharing last month's intentions that I simply loved. It was exactly what I needed to push myself out of my comfort zone and the daily rut without being anxious or feeling over-whelmed. Hopefully November will be as inspiring. -M.

The architecture, that is a bit Gothic, was enhanced by the fall colors. You don't go to Edinburgh for the food but it wasn't bad eit
