The Harvest

The Summer of Self-Love is winding down, and we're headed into a new season. But self-love is still important, both to me, and to readers of Soul Spackle.

In reflection of the changing of the seasons (and yes, I'm aware this is a bit Northern Hemisphere-centric), I'm starting a new series called The Harvest.

The Harvest is about reflecting on the past year, summer, or even just month, to gather the lessons learned, the things accomplished. Sometimes unexpected growth in our emotional lives begs to be acknowledged. The Harvest is a time to savor your achievements in a very real way. It's so easy for us to find a new project to jump into, and never fully enjoy the achievement of our goals.. We deserve to step back and fully appreciate the wonder of the enormous effort we've put into our work and our dreams.

Do you have a story about savoring your achievement? Or perhaps you want a place to honor an emotional/spiritual growth spurt you've just experienced.
Do you want to fluff up your peacock feathers and share the excitement of achieving or even the lessons learned in attempting to achieve a fabulous goal -- whether it be personal or work-related?
Do you have suggestions for others on how they can savor their achievements? How-tos are welcome, but they are better received when mixed with your personal story. Overly self-promoting posts will not be accepted -- it's just not something I, or my readers, wish to read.
