Where I come from there are basically two seasons, winter & summer. I never understood when people would talk about how much they loved fall since it always felt like we'd go straight from summer into winter. However, since moving to the west coast, i finally get it! So many beautiful colours.
A few months ago, I was asked to lead an established Hiking Group for the fall session. I immediately jumped at the opportunity, as hiking is one of my favourite activities. In the process I learned about a number of parks and trails that I didn't know existed. The added bonus was quite a few of those in the group, also attend my Yoga class together.
In fact as I found out this weekend, one of them joined my class several years ago and proceeded to share with her hiking group how much she had been enjoying Yoga with me, then over the years more and more of them joined my class too. So when I was asked to take over the group, some of them already knew me or they had heard a lot about me. We just finished our first session and about to start the second one of the season next week. It's been an amazing experience taking this group of 14 around town to various trails. I'm so grateful that I get to do this!
