🍁 LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
There’s something sacred about this season we call fall.
The air shifts, the leaves surrender, and the world exchanges its bright greens for
deep ambers and golds. It’s as if nature itself pauses to remind us, change isn’t the
end, it’s a masterpiece in motion.
As I sit with my cup of tea and watch the trees outside my window release what
they no longer need, I’m reminded of how many seasons of letting go we each
walk through. For some, it’s a change in career or calling. For others, it’s the gentle
unraveling of an old identity, the one that once fit perfectly but no longer feels like
home. And yet, even in that surrender, there is purpose. There is splendor.
This issue, Fall Splendor: Harvesting Your Purpose, is our love letter to
transformation, to the beautiful, sometimes messy, and always meaningful process
of becoming. You’ll meet women and men who dared to say “yes” to evolution.
You’ll hear how faith guided their courage, how resilience became their rhythm,
and how they found beauty not in perfection but in progress.
I’ve learned that true resilience isn’t about resisting the winds of change; it’s about
bending gracefully with them. It’s about trusting that the same God who allowed
the leaves to fall has also prepared the soil for new growth.
So if you find yourself in a season of transition, don’t rush it. Don’t fear it. Embrace
it. Because somewhere within this change is a divine invitation to rediscover who
you are and what still blooms inside you.
As you turn these pages, may you find comfort in every story, inspiration in every
voice, and peace in the knowing that you, too, are part of this sacred cycle, where
endings become beginnings, and letting go makes room for grace.
