Check out Ellie Dee’s beautiful insights, and let us know in the comments what autumn means to you:<\/p>\n

“Autumn holds a sense of romance in it, for it is the season where love
\nhas matured. It’s the season where we leave the springtime
\nof our youth….  In Autumn, we no longer accept just a glance, a wink, or
\na fast hand, as a gesture of love. It’s a time when love itself matures
\nand becomes redefined…. <\/p>\n

It’s the time we realize, life is not lived in black or white, nor
\neven gray. It becomes our most creative time. It’s Autumn when
\nfor the first time in our lives, we notice we have hues, tones,
\nvalues, and a depth of color to draw upon. These values and tones add
\nthe color of experience, that better expresses who we are.”<\/p>\n
