The last couple of days, we have experienced unseasonably cooler weather that has been like a breath of fresh air from the typical oppressive Atlanta humidity. Life can often be like the oppressively hot and humid days of summer, leaving us longing for a cool breeze. Taking time to care for your soul is like a breath of fresh air. It fills our lives with life-giving oxygen and energy. It renews us so we can carry on when life seems full of more dog days than breezes.
So what brings us a breath of fresh air? What care do we give our souls that allows us to feel renewed? Just as there are many days of summer, so too, there are many ways we can experience soul care. In the weeks to come on this site, we will be sharing various ways to take a deep breath and experience soul care. For now, spend some time outside. Give yourself permission to fling your arms wide and and take a deep breath of fresh air. Enjoy the breezes as they come. And remember that in life–no matter how hot, how humid, how suffocating things may seem– an unexpected breeze may be just around the corner.
