Summer is coming to an end and my favourite season is on its way… It’s time to slow down. Sometimes, it seems as though we spend much of our time searching for peace and serenity in our lives. So this month, I’ll be focusing on cultivating serenity and calmness as we are transitioning into Autumn …
