September Quotes

“When the goldenrod is yellow,
And leaves are turning brown –
Reluctantly the summer goes
In a cloud of thistledown.

When squirrels are harvesting
And birds in flight appear –
By these autumn signs we know
September days are here.”

  • Beverly Ashour, September

Kate Spreckley


Today we enter into the third and final Mercury Retrograde season of the year. Over the next three weeks, with Mercury in the sign of Libra, we have the opportunity to reset how we habitually think and communicate. Despite the generally negative response to Mercury Retrograde it is a time that is well worth consciously engaging with.

Elephant Journal: Daydreaming: How Drifting off Daily can Make us Happier.

Have you ever been homesick for a place that no longer exists? A place your mind wanders to as a safe haven?
Maybe it’s not a place, but a person.

When life gets crazy and we are running a marathon on the hamster wheel called life, I occasionally find myself pulled into a place just like that. A place that only exists in my head, inside my memories, and inside my heart.

EarthSky News: Moon In Gemini Before Dawn September 29 And 30

Last quarter moon in Gemini
On the mornings of September 29 and 30, 2021, you can see the moon near the two brightest stars of the constellation Gemini the Twins. These stars are Castor and Pollux. The moon will reach its last quarter phase in front of Gemini on September 29 at 01:57 UTC. By clocks in North America, that translates to the evening of September 28. A last quarter moon is a waning moon. So the September 28-29 moon will look half-illuminated, like half a pie. And the next night’s moon will look slimmer, like a fat crescent

Inner Journey:

VALUING ALL WORK

“We honor life when we work. The type of work is not important: the fact of work is. All work feeds the soul if it is honest and done to the best of our abilities and if it brings joy to others.”
— Matthew Fox

What value do we unconsciously (or consciously) place on different kinds of work? How do we rank the status of different jobs? How much more do we value the big- paying jobs over others?

Just as we need to honour ourselves for doing what needs to be done, we can equally honour all others who look after life through their efforts, no matter what they may be. We can release judgment that assigns more importance to some occupations than others.

“Now in order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed: They must be fit for it: they must not do too much of it: and they must have a sense of success in it — not a doubtful sense, such as needs some testimony of others for its confirmation, but a sure sense, or rather knowledge, that so much work has been done well, and fruitfully done, whatever the world may say or think about it.”
— John Ruskin

Perseverance
“Entrepreneurs average 3.8 failures before final success. What sets the successful ones apart is their amazing persistence. There are a lot of people out there with good and marketable ideas, but pure entrepreneurial types almost never accept defeat.”

-Lisa M. Amos


Perseverance is stick-to-it-iveness! It’s having that vision that success is not only possible, it is inevitable. It’s having the fortitude to navigate the bumps in the road, and not let those bumps become road blocks

-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com

Daily Tarot: The High Priestess

There may be moment or two when you feel responsible for everything in the world and like it’s your duty to take care of everyone. Relax, let this wash over you, and let it go. It’s not a burden so much as a demonstration of how connected you are to the people and things in your own life, and how much you care. That’s a good thing.

Spiritual Unite: Peacock Feathers Bad Luck | Myth Debunked

Peacock feathers bad luck or superstition? In spirituality, the Peacock holds a sacred place. It is regarded as a symbol of protection, spirituality, intuition and transformation. Not only does it protect us from external dangers, but it also safeguards us from within. Our emotions, subconscious and consciousness.

MBG: Believe It Or Not, I’m Grateful For My Anxiety. Here’s Why

As a young psychologist, I was taught to tell my anxious clients they’d suffer from panic attacks their whole lives. Yet as someone who suffered from high-functioning anxiety, I can tell you that you can learn to master your mind. Yes, there will be moments when you tumble down an existential rabbit hole, but you can learn to find your way back out again and enjoy the good times without the ever-present fear of anxiety’s return.

MNN: 14 Dogs that really love sticks

Many dogs love sticks. For some, it’s the thrill of the chase when the stick is thrown. Others just like the satisfaction of gnawing on wood. And some just like carrying around their prize like a trophy. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that sticks look a lot like bones. What’s not to love?

Patheos-Pagan: Life Lessons from Artemis: Aim for the Heart

She was revered as compassionate to those in crisis and revealed herself to those needing her help. From the stories of Atalanta and Iphigenia, we learn that Artemis was a goddess who set things right. In all these ways, she aimed for the heart through merciful arrows or letting others speak their truth and live on.

Inner Journey: 

IT’S A MATTER OF BALANCE.

“My soul is the bridge between spirit and body and, as such, is a uniter of opposites. …Without soul at center, I would either transcend into spirit or become mired in matter.”
— Marion Woodman

Ram Dass talks of how his first spiritual goal was to be rid of his physical existence. He came to understand, though, that our spirituality lies in bringing higher consciousness to our world of form. When we can do so, we can delight in all aspects of creation.

Soul exists in the balance of spirit and matter. For a soulful life, we pay attention to both, seeing spiritual qualities in material forms. As our awareness grows, we begin to use consciousness to influence and create form. It’s through form that our spirit expresses.

“Walk in balance with one foot in your spiritual understanding and one foot in your physical world of accomplishment.”
— Lynn V. Andrews

A Note from the Universe

So many claim to believe.

So here’s what I’m going to start asking them: If you really believed you were guided, wouldn’t you begin listening?

And if you really believed you were powerful, wouldn’t every true desire be followed by action?

And if you really believed your life was about to be transformed, wouldn’t the celebration have already begun?

That ought to stir up their coffee, huh?

Let’s rock-and-roll,

Today’s Recipe: Vegan French Toast with Strawberry Compote

This is an egg and dairy free French toast that has a crispy outside and custardy middle. Flax and nut milk are used in place of eggs and milk. Use any type of bread you like (I used sourdough here). You can add a bit of cinnamon in the mix if you like, but I wanted the homemade strawberry compote to shine.

The present

“Stay present. You’ll always have time to worry later on if you want to.” -Dan Millman

Do we worry because we want to? If everything is a choice, and it is, then why would we choose to worry? When we stay present, we can’t be worried, because this moment is all there is. One moment at a time, we allow ourselves to see the perfection of the Universe, in all its glory! The present moment is where we are, it’s where we find out who we really are.

-Lissa Coffey
