Motivational Monday – Preparing for Life’s Seasons

As the air turns crisp and the days grow shorter, the birds begin their quiet work of preparation. They fluff their feathers for warmth, gather food for leaner times, and seek safe shelter from the coming chill. Watching them, I’m reminded that nature always knows how to take care of itself — but do we?

Are you prepared for your own life’s changing seasons? Do you take the time to ensure your spirit, heart, and mind are nourished? Or do you find yourself so focused on everyone else that you forget to care for you?

Just like the bright cardinal perched proudly on a fence, take a moment to pause and reflect. Strength doesn’t just come from pushing through; it comes from preparation — from filling your own cup before the cold winds blow.

So this week, take a little time for yourself. Rest. Reflect. Refuel. Make sure you have what you need to thrive, not just survive. Because when you take care of you, your light shines warmer for everyone around you.
