Fallin' In Love, All Over Again

Oh Hello, there Fall!
I saw you sneaking up on me.
Is it naughty of me to admit I am enjoying your seduction?

You know I am a fool for you- Summer has it's charms and I wasn't afraid to sieze them this year... but somehow, you dear, sweet, sexy Fall will always own my heart.

Some of my favorite things I like to do with Fall:

selecting pumpkin spice candles to burned up until my birthday
making pumpkin bread and / or pumpkin chocolate chip muffins
going to the pumpkin patch
apple cider and cake donuts
Halloween (I have selected my costume, and will begin it's construction on Oct. 1. It's no Cupcake - I can't beat last year's amazing costume. But this year's costume will definitely be just as fun!)
watching movies I associate with Fall- "Practical Magic", "Old School", Hocus Pocus"
Make use of the crock pot - beef stew, chili, pot roast. Beef it's what's for dinner.
squash with every dinner! Yummy!
going to the pumpkin path and carving pumpkins
walks through the woods- it smells so divine

I look forward to falling in love with you a little bit more this year, Fall. I so enjoy discovering new secrets of Autumal delight.
I guess you might say I am Fallin' Hard.

Love Always,
Paula Lu

The Woman in the Mirror

This has so many different meanings. Today, on the what is known astrologically has the hardest day of the year, I let go of things that have served their full purpose.
Roughness can smooth out surfaces. And make clarity of purpose that much easier to see.

The Man in the Mirror by Michael Jackson (R.I.P)

I'm Gonna Make A Change
For Once In My Life
It's Gonna Feel Real Good
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right...

As I, Turn Up The Collar On
My Favorite Winter Coat
This Wind Is Blowin' My Mind
I See The Kids In The Street
With Not Enough To Eat
Who Am I, To Be Blind?
Pretending Not To See Their Needs
A Summer's Disregard
A Broken Bottle Top
And A One Man's Soul
They Follow Each Other On
The Wind Ya' Know
'Cause They Got Nowhere To Go
That's Why I Want You To Know

I'm Starting With The Man In The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change His Ways
And No Message Could Have Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World A Better Place
(If You Wanna Make The World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself, And Then Make A Change
(Take A Look At Yourself, And Then Make A Change)
(Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na, Na Nah)

I've Been A Victim Of
A Selfish Kind Of Love
It's Time That I Realize
That There Are Some With No Home
Not A Nickel To Loan
Could It Be Really Me
Pretending That They're Not Alone?

A Willow Deeply Scarred
Somebody's Broken Heart
And A Washed-Out Dream
(Washed-Out Dream)
They Follow The Pattern Of
The Wind, Ya' See
Cause They Got No Place To Be
That's Why I'm Starting With Me
(Starting With Me!)

I'm Starting With The Man In The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change His Ways
