I haven\u2019t gotten a pumpkin, or set out my autumn decorations. I haven\u2019t made a pumpkin pie or baked any brownies. I\u2019ve been on the go for several months and I\u2019m left feeling the need to prioritize, leaving time for unexpected and spontaneous personal moments. I am so grateful for everyone I\u2019ve met along my journey, and best friends I\u2019ve met through life detours.\n<p>Change doesn\u2019t have to involve sympathy or drastic emotion. Life is a series of thousands of tiny miracles and we don\u2019t often notice them unless they are huge. This morning I took notice and because of that decided to make some changes.<\/p>\n<p>Just as the seasons, where some love summer and others hate it, not everyone loves change. As I took the time to look into my own gazing ball I feel grateful for the good, the bad, and the indifferent because without that life wouldn\u2019t evolve and the personal seasons would simply stay stagnant.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no hocus pocus or magic wand involved to make that shift in your own life. It\u2019s often just taking a moment in quiet to check your life temperature. Are you happy? Are you sad? Are you afraid? Do you want to stay where you are? You don\u2019t always need to know the next step, just that there has to be a next step and then go from there.<\/p>\n<p>I wish you a week of magic, miracles, and treats!\u00a0I believe in you today.<\/p>\n<p>Believe,<br>\nKristy Robinett<\/p><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kristyrobinett.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.kristyrobinett.com<\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>PS \u2013 I\u2019ve had several gallery\/seance sessions over the past couple weeks and I mentioned I\u2019d have a list of visiting spirits \u2013 here is a page of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/ahappymedium\/2017\/10\/heavenly-visits\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\">recent visitors<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The dawn lent awakenings to my busy mind.
