This fall and winter season feel different this time around. The cold air has quickly made its appearance along with the early nights and quiet anticipation in my heart – not just for the busy months ahead, but for the little life that I am growing and nourishing every day.

It’s about caring for my mind, spiritual well-being, and the support system that is carrying me in this vulnerable yet transformative time.
