A few weeks ago, my husband, Nick, and I were taking a walk along the road outside our house. I was completely awestruck by the beauty of the colorful leaves, and I kept pointing them out to Nick, “Look at these leaves over here!”, and “Did you see that tree over there?” It finally got to the point where he said to me, “Cassie, just assume that I’m seeing all the trees.”

I love the changing of seasons – especially this one. From the hot sunny weather of summer to the cool, beautiful display of fall. The changing seasons – relating to the weather – are great! But so are the changing of seasons in our lives. Will you join me in this conversation?

With gratitude,


Cassie Mecklenburg
