September is now well underway, and with it the feelings of change and renewal. Camp and vacations have ended, and everyone is either heading back to school or back to work. Growing up in Los Angeles, I remember the excitement of going to the local stationery store to purchase new school supplies. As young as the age of 12, I had to study the entire September issue of Seventeen Magazine before buying any new clothes. When I got older, I thought I would get similar advice by reading Vogue, but, well, I found it to be way too intimidating. To me, September feels significantly different than any other month. I think
that's because change is occurring on an organic level -- the sun, after reaching its solstice in June, is setting earlier and lower each week; the leaves are beginning to change color; and the weather is getting cooler. So I plan to take advantage of these shifts in nature and make some of my own shifts. On a personal level, I've decided to make a change too. I've begun the daily habit of taking vitamins. Not mega-doses, mind you, but at least a multi-vitamin and another supplement or two each day.

I was starting to feel that I was taking it for granted I was getting enough of the vitamins I needed from what I was eating. But since my diet varies frequently, I decided that adding some supplementation would be good for me to reach my goal of staying healthy. So go ahead -- ask me how I'm keeping up with this change whenever you talk, write or see me! It's my hope that by publicizing my goal to stay healthy in this way, that I'll get the support I need to stay motivated. Perhaps I've also inspired you to change something that'll lead you closer to your own goals. And if you make it public too, perhaps you'll find someone who will
support, or accompany you along the way!
