To me there is something so magical about September. Even though it’s been decades since I’ve been in school, this time of year still holds the promise and excitement of the beginning of something new. September marks the end of summer and the start of a new season. As the air starts to get cooler and leaves begin to change color, we can also begin to bring new energy and positive change into our lives.
Although we may not be starting a new academic year, this is a perfect time to learn something new or start a new project or explore some of the many wonderful opportunities available to us here. Is there something you’ve been wanting to do but just haven’t taken the time to start? Set aside some quiet time for yourself and make a list of what new learning or adventures or projects you’d love to begin. Which one really speaks to you and makes you smile? Imagine what it would feel like to actually be doing that or having that experience in your life, and just relax and breathe and savor the feelings that come to you -- peace, happiness, joy, excitement, creativity, fulfillment, purpose, aliveness! Whatever it is for you, let this feeling motivate you and guide you.
Whatever makes your heart sing, begin to take some steps to bring that into your life as we move into this new phase of the year. Taking the first small step can lead to enlivening, surprising, and even miraculous changes.
As we turn toward fall, embrace the changing energy by bringing something new and positive, whatever that may be, into your life. Stop waiting for tomorrow or next month or next year and make a commitment to yourself to start moving toward what you love. Now is the perfect time!
Awaken to the magic, mystery and renewal of this new season, and welcome the excitement of growth and new learning in September!

WOMEN IN TRANSITION WORKSHOP!
SATURDAY • SEPTEMBER 29, 2018 • 12:30–5:00 PM
|
|
We are in transition all the time. Sometimes it is big and sometimes small. We often struggle with how can I make this change work better for me? Help!
What do I want to do? How can I deal with this more effectively?
The Women in Transition Workshop
takes the participants through the three perilous stages of any transition, explaining how each stage can be understood and embraced.
Sign up now for the Women in Transition Workshop!
This workshop is open to TTN members ($25) and non-members ($35).
Here’s what stood out from previous participants:
- Beautifully organized and enthusiastically received – I think many really learned a great deal and moved ahead today.
- Importance of women in community supporting whatever life brings.
- Diversity, wisdom, experience in abundance. Very encouraging.
- Everyone’s willingness to be vulnerable and share from their heart.

ARE YOU AN INTROVERT OR AN EXTRAVERT?
AND
Forming Special Interest Groups!
MONDAY • SEPTEMBER 24 • 5:45–7:30 PM
Montezuma Lodge, 431 Paseo de Peralta, Santa Fe
|
|
What makes extraverts and introverts tick? Learn from
TTN Santa Fe
Founder Jean Palmer the key distinctions between these psychological preferences.
Understand what it is and what it is not. Can I be both? What if I don’t like my preference? Come enjoy this enlightening session.
Jean Palmer’s
experience as an executive director, founder of networking groups, and leader in many organizations has given her an opportunity to learn from, and help others deal with the challenges of life and organizations. She believes that every individual has value and she provides gentle encouragement and practical help that can be used right away. She had her own training business, Jean C. Palmer Training for Success and Excellence, for 40 years, where she worked with a variety of organizations including Sprint, State Department, American Red Cross, and the US Senate. She is the founder of the Santa Fe chapter of The Transition Network and has served on the National TTN Board.
In this program, we’ll also form Special Interest Groups (SIGs), which bring members together who share a special interest.
Would you like to meet with others in a book group, hiking, movies, traveling? Join a special interest group to share your passion and socialize with each other. (NOTE: If you are interested in joining a Special Interest Group and are unable to attend the meeting on 9/24, please contact Ellen Wetzel at
