So what is Samhain all about you ask? Why, death of course!
The veil is thin this time of year, so if you’d like to communicate with loved ones or just help some spirits along on their journey, today is a great day to do that. From seances with friends to a simple, silent meditation to welcome in signs from those closest to us in the spirit realm, this is a perfect time to ask some questions or simply bask in the warmth and memory of those who have passed.
But death isn’t just about leaving the human body. Death is also SO much about releasing what is no longer serving us and reflecting on all that we’ve already released over the past year.
- I lost a beautiful soul in December at 12 weeks pregnant, but over the last few months, I have allowed my grief to die and have birthed a new sense of acceptance and resilience in order to make room in my heart for this beautiful baby girl due in just 3 weeks.
- I have allowed my habit of “settling” to die and have birthed my dream clients and the ability to manifest so. much. love and friendship. No longer will I take on any client or spend my day doing something that doesn’t fill me up.
- My attachments to the past, to relationships that no longer serve me, and to all that was blocking me from pure abundance have also done a lot of dying this year. From this, I have rebirthed new ideas, a sense of calm confidence, and an excitement for what I can create in the future.
As we begin to hunker down for the quiet rest of winter, we ourselves will awake refreshed and reborn in the spring. So, if you’re still hanging on to some things that clearly need to die, spend some time today working through the death process and have faith that doing so will bring about the beautiful blooming you’ve been waiting for.
Like most of the pagan holidays, Samhain comes down to a reflection of the past, gratitude for the present, and hope for the future. As you watch your kids stomp on leaves in their adorable costumes, try to let the stress of dealing with their overstimulated and over-sugared minds at bedtime tonight die. And instead, rebirth that feeling of gratitude for all that you’ve overcome as a mama this year, all of the ways you and your children have grown, and all of the excitement that lies ahead.
Happy Samhain and blessed be.

Hurricane Ida hit the Louisiana coast in late August as a category 4 Atlantic hurricane. After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Ida was the most damaging and intense hurricane to make landfall in Louisiana. Thirty-three people lost their lives in the state of Louisiana alone, most oil production along the Gulf Coast was shut down, and power outages resulting from the storm lasted for weeks.
Hurricane Ida is the sixth most expensive hurricane on record and the fourth most expensive in the U.S. It caused at least $65.2 billion in damages, with $18 billion as insured losses in Louisiana. Many Agility customers were impacted, and the Agility Recovery Services team helped more than 60 organizations and their communities as they activated their coverage due to Hurricane Ida and the earlier Tropical Storm Henri.
Hurricanes have impacts far beyond simple physical damage; a power outage can mean loss of connectivity. Without connectivity and active networks, people can’t use credit cards or use ATMs to buy food, water, tarps, and other essential supplies. If banks are down, the rest of the community can crumble.
This bank outside of New Orleans had three branches located in an impacted area, one of which had its bulletproof glass blown out. At the same time as company leaders were trying to salvage their location and maintain continuity, they were also balancing a focus on their families’ safety and security. Many didn’t have the option to evacuate, and people were in panic mode.
Along with resuming operations, the bank prioritized getting cash in hand to distribute cash advances to their community to start rebuilding roofs before the next rainfall.
After the bank activated their coverage, the Agility team set out from Georgia to Louisiana, encountering downed power lines, flat tires, and other road hazards along the way.
When the Agility team reached the bank, they asked one simple question before beginning: What can we do to make this easier for you?
We're there for the customer, no matter what. We do this with pride.
During the site survey, Agility team members spent time not only assessing but also cleaning the site’s parking lot so that it would be safe to bring in a mobile banking center to resume operations.
With Agility’s help, the bank was able to fulfill its mission of securing cash advances for its community as well as get back up and running. Along with cleaning the parking lots and bringing in mobile units, the bank and Agility provided ice, food, and water to help support the community.

Congratulations to the 2017 Fenwick Boys’ Golf Team, which last week won the Catholic League Championship for the first time in 12 seasons (since ’05.) Before that, the Friars hadn’t taken the CCL since 1964 -- when the average U.S. annual income was less than Fenwick’s present-day tuition and a famous rock-n-roll band from England (the Beatles) first appeared on U.S. television.
The CCL match was held at Cog Hill in Lemont last Wednesday, September 27th. Reese Wildermuth, a senior, won the league with a career-best low score of 69 (3 strokes under par). He is the Lawless Player of the Year. Junior Josh Kirkham finished fourth overall, carding a score of 72. Two other Friars placed among the top-ten finishers: sophomore Jackson Schaeffer (73) and senior Billy Bruce (74). These four golfers earned All-Conference honors. Senior Michael Scudder (75) and freshman Jake Wiktor (84) rounded out the championship squad. The team’s score of 288 was even par and the Fenwick’s best score in the history of the event!
Head Coach Jerry Kribs, who has been named the CCL’s Lawless Coach of the Year for the second consecutive season, conducted some research. He looked at yearbooks and Chicago Tribune cl
