If you’re living my life, September is a flurry of activity which screams by before I can bat an eyelash. The slow pace of summer suddenly gears up a few notches as we settle back to a fresh start. New school year, new season, new wardrobe, and new fall resolutions (which I haven’t really kept ☺). All the chores put off once summer started, remerge on our radar and our days become one giant to do list from dawn till sunset.

Thanksgiving weekend comes at the perfect time. It forces us to slow down for one weekend, and focus on family, friends and food! As I prepare our turkey dinner, with all the fixings specifically requested every year by my children, I recognize the comfort we get from tradition. A simple but significant dinner, in our special place, is what we all need right about now to recharge our batteries- as they have been working overtime since Labour Day weekend. In the chaos we call life, we rarely take the time to be in the moment with our loved ones, removed from everyday life’s interruptions. Let’s all switch that noise off for one weekend- and thank each person around the dinner table for being themselves.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you in our STYLEARTIST community. We are so grateful to have you take this journey with us. Our visitors and customers, our suppliers and business partners. Thank you to all of you for helping us bring STYLEARTIST to life!

Until the next time- enjoy a peaceful long weekend,

Catherine
