Dear fall, I’m so glad you’re here. Love, me.

September 22 marks the official start to fall and I couldn’t be happier about it. Some love it for the launch of all things pumpkin spice. I love it for the crisp air and campfires. Okay, and the smores! Vegan preferred. {One spot left in next month’s Writing in the Woods—come savor all the above with me and your muse}.

On Thursday I’m hosting our quarterly Tranquility du Jour Live to connect as a community and share tips for infusing days with more tranquility. We’re busy. Life moves quickly. Smartphones invade our space. And we must make time to flip the “off” switch and savor those simple moments in front of us.

Below are 25 ways to find tranquility this fall.

1.    Light a candle.
2.    Read poetry.
3.    Go to bed early.
4.    Sip French wine.
5.    Watch leaves fall.
6.    Stop by a pumpkin patch.
7.    Plant bulbs.
8.    Cradle a steaming cuppa tea.
9.    Stargaze.
10.    Roast marshmallows around a campfire.
11.    Bake kale chips.
12.    Build a fire and listen to it crackle.
13.    Pen your fall wishes.
14.    Celebrate a success.
15.    Write a love note.

17.    Embrace a loved one and hold for ten breaths.
18.    Take a stroll under a full moon.
19.    Make apple butter (tart apples, cinnamon, lemon juice).
20.    Go apple picking.
21.    Sip spiced cider with a stick of cinnamon.
22.    Simmer fall scents on the stove (cinnamon sticks, orange rinds, whole cloves, a few drops of vanilla)
23.    Carve a pumpkin.
24.    Wear a chunky sweater, leggings, and tall boots.
