editor's note Welcome to our Sunday morning at Hola Sober where we enjoy a little motivation, inspiration, colour, joy, beauty, and fashion over morning coffee. In a week where at home people visited the graves and reflected on lost loved ones, I came across this lovely poem by Donna Ashworth which sums up so much of the month in which my late Mam + Dad would have celebrated birthdays..
WELCOME NOVEMBER…
There is something about November that says ‘survival’, ‘keep going’.We are not quite through the year, yet the finish line looms ahead. We are plunged into darkness by Mother Nature. We are faced with the ‘season of joy’ , and yet many of us wonder where we will find it. And I think November is a great time to take a little peek behind you, and see just how much you are. To take stock of your achievements, your endurance, your survival. To rest, reinforce before the festivities envelop us all. Before beautiful new beginnings. And most importantly, November is a time to seek out light. As the natural order darkens, we must find it ourselves. We must do whatever we can to brighten our day, our home, the world. Seek out light wherever you can my friends, and pay no heed to those who condemn your sparkle.
You are much needed.
