9 – 12 – 22 Reading: Take a step back, if needed from others

Dearest Poppet,

My human and I are excited for the end of summer and the beginning of coolness. Though our days are still sunny, we can steal more time outside in the mornings and evenings again, we are both so thankful for the reprieve. We hope that you are able to enjoy a few moments of stillness even though we know this back to school season is anything but calm. With so many demands in a short amount of time, life is definitely overwhelming right now.

When tensions are high all around, it’s important to be mindful of how others are feeling around you. Now is the time when fights can break out just from everyone being stressed out. Keep an eye on your relationships and if things seem tense, take a step back and allow things to settle. Communication is vital but not when things are heated – coming back together after everyone has had a chance to cool off can make the difference between working on a solution or just fighting because everyone is hurt.

May this busy time pass and leave us feeling encouraged for the holidays, rather then in annoyance with those we care about.

With encouragement,

Irene la poupée
