How can you make the best of this eerily haunting yet oh-so-charming fall season? The first thing you need to do is remember to be patient and genuinely accept the symbolism behind each season, which ultimately represents a cycle in your life.

The seasons are a representation of the circle of creation, as everything in life is cyclical. That means it's the perfect time to talk about what the autumn equinox is and how you should embrace it. Mother Nature's colors are so beautifully vivid, it's kind of hard not to feel her moods shifting all around us. Summer is nearly over, and the sunlight is fading a little more each day, as we inch closer to the autumnal equinox.
