My Libra self loves that autumn is my birthday season and the leaves put on a spectacular show as they change colors. However…autumn also means – as is the motto of House of Stark – winter is coming. And I am not a fan of winter.Therefore, ever the optimist, I seek to welcome and embrace the goodness that fall has to offer like pumpkins, orange leaves, football games, and the marvelous, cozy aroma of warming essential oils in my diffuser.
