Today's Kindness #512: September 22, 2025
🍁🍂 It's Fall Y'all 🍂🍁
The Autumnal Equinox has arrived in the Northern Hemisphere today, September 22!
The equinox is one of only two days each year when the sun rises directly in the east and sets directly in the west, creating nearly equal hours of daylight and darkness across most of the Earth. It is a moment of balance in nature and a reminder that change is constant and cyclical.
With this shift of the seasons comes an invitation to reflect. The autumn equinox is the perfect time to hit pause and look back on the past few months. Think about the goals you've reached, the moments you've cherished, and even the things you wish had gone differently. Reflection is not about judgment, but about noticing where you've been so you can move forward with clarity and purpose.
As fall begins, let yourself set new intentions. Maybe you want to spend more time with friends and family, focus on your health, or create space for gratitude and rest. The holidays are just around the corner, bringing with them opportunities to celebrate, connect, and give back. Starting with reflection now helps you enter this season with kindness for yourself and others.
So grab a pumpkin spice latte, take in the crisp air, and maybe watch a favorite autumn movie. Then, take a few moments to set your intentions for the months ahead. A small pause today can spark big kindness in the season to come. 🍁
