Dear Reader,

You choose. In any given moment it can be all of these or none of them, but one thing is certain: Change happens and as highly sensitive people, we are going to have thoughts and feelings about it!
​
One of my favorite changes is happening this week: Autumn is here. It might not feel like it as I write this on one of the hottest days of our late summer, but I feel it anyway.
​
The days are shorter, the nights might be a tiny bit cooler, capitalism is marketing fall things, whatever the signs, they are here. I'm glad. I like the break from the intensity of summer, the temperate days, the middle ground between days too long in summer and too short in winter.
​
It takes intention for me to embrace my favorite season without future-tripping into dread of the dark to come. How about you?
​
Change will be our kicking off theme for HSP Tools and Topics this Thursday at 9am PDT (that's right 40 days left of Daylight Savings Time.) Then we launch into Ask Alane Anything!
​
For the new season, I am pleased to announce our Autumn curriculum (and event schedule, below.)
​
Would you like to know more? Maybe you want to join us on Thursday or another time this fall, reply to this email with your questions or to schedule a time to chat with me.
​
I'm excited to offer live community conversations about HSPs and Trauma as well as Gratitude, two new webinars, Working with Sensitivity (for health professionals), and the beginning of our monthly meetings for Costa Rica, all happening this fall.
​
Check out the schedule and find your sweet spot. Members of AYHS, please remember that this is all included so don't purchase anything!!
​
Ambivalently embracing change...
Your sensitive friend, coach, and mentor,
Alane
