This soup is perfect for a busy fall day, a savory dinner option, or a quick & easy lunch on the go.
Tis the Season of Letting Go
Autumn is a spiritually unique season. Many associate the mystery and decline of the fall with elements of darkness and evil, but in reality, autumn is all about endings—a very natural thing. Every journey must find its end, and fall is a seasonal reminder of this natural process. As autumn sets in, consider the areas of your life that need to be released, consider what no longer serves you, gets in your way, and needs to wither and die. It can be physical: a job, relationship, debt, or clothes that no longer fit. You can release emotional baggage: anger, guilt, sadness, and unforgiveness. Or maybe you are carrying mental weight: negative thoughts, racing thoughts, or unawareness. Commit to letting something go. Be like the trees...Release!
