This is Crystal, Wisdomologist and the host of this Podcast. \r\nThe end of August always means the end of summer for me. I loved the beginning of the school year when I was in school and when I was working in an academic setting. I loved and still love getting some new supplies for my desk, a new notebook, some colored pencils. September is also a time for me to review the recent past and set some goals for the fall term. \r\n\r\nThis summer has been a time of rest and relaxation for me… When my grandchildren spend time with us in the summer, it is pure joy, even if they stretched my energy to its limits!  It is a time to focus on them and our relationships. \r\nI have been quiet on social media and just enjoying the abundance of summer. \r\nSo, now as fall is upon us, I am reflecting back on the last 6 months of this podcast and thought it would be good to review where I have been and where I am going with it!\r\nIf you have been listening in, you will know that I am following the Alphabet on this journey to inner wisdom.  And there is method in this madness. In my work with my clients and programs, I always start with awareness, we move to beliefs and then to curiosity, which leads to decision making and decernment…so when I was sitting with these three words, I thought why not just continue…\r\nI spent two months on E. Why? Because this cycle of awareness, beliefs, curiosity, discernment…uncovers emotions…and we often don’t deal well with our emotions…they get pushed down, buried, ignored and they become a source of pain and suffering. They become blocks to growth and awareness. \r\nI also spent time exploring the Enneagram a bit as it is such a wonderful, dynamic tool of growth and wisdom.  When I came to F, I wanted to be get physical on this journey so Forest Bathing in the spring took us out into nature and the wisdom of the trees. Gratitude is essential on this journey, and I often forget to be grateful for the abundance in my life....","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/YktssXJF6dp8Ik7GOFlbODc9-k43ISg0tU4bqgeRMdM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iNGY0/MDY2YmJiMTE0YWFl/MDFhMmE0MDIyMDFm/ZmNkZS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
