Inspiring storyteller, writer and speaker, Dr. Nina Kelly waxes poetic about the fall season in her hometown of New Orleans and invites readers to fall in love wherever they are in their own personal lives by writing an exciting new story they can embody.

New Orleans, LA – October 29, 2019 – Dr. Nina M. Kelly, Inspirational Storyteller, Coach, Author and Co-Author of The Big Question with Larry King, and Success Mastery and Success Breakthroughs with Jack Canfield, recently posted a new article on her website entitled, “The Feast That Is Fall.” Dr. Kelly tells readers that excitement can create a change of season at any time of life.

Dr. Kelly writes, “Here in New Orleans, as in other areas in the southern hemisphere of the United States, the fall season kicks off a veritable feast of festivals that praise and celebrate our acclaimed food, arts and musical culture.” She continues to elaborate, “Our sultry summer weather slowly gives up its soupy pot-au-feu humidity to a more tolerable and enlivening dryness that comes across as cool. Senses are heightened. Hearts expand. Stories swirl in the air along with the music as oysters get shucked and slurped, gumbo gets stirred, jambalaya gets spiced and freshly fried beignets get buried in a thick layer of powdered sugar.”

“Fall,” says Dr. Kelly, “It is that time of year, that change that occurs before, in some areas, all of nature goes silent and still. Where all growth slows down and almost appears to die, to go completely lifeless.” She adds, “This change of season crackles with excitement and energy all across our great country. In the northern part of the country the vibrantly colorful display of autumn leaves is thrilling to behold. The harvest of autumn fruits and vegetables begins to appear in the stores and pumpkin spice fills the air at coffee shops, bakeries and homes everywhere.”

According to Dr. Kelly, “This season is like the last hurrah before we settle in and cozy up to the dead of winter. It’s like the beginning of the most exciting love affair. And it happens year-after-year always with that feeling of crisp freshness and newness that never gets old.”

“Isn’t that the way of life too?” She asks, adding, “Just when boredom begins to feel like it is setting up permanent residence in your life, something happens to shake it loose, to fire you up, to give you the courage to try something new. Perhaps you’ll spontaneously take a different route to work or say yes to someone you always say no to!” She explains, “We experience individual, personal seasonal changes within the existing defined four seasons. Our springtime could begin mid-winter as a new promotion or job offer. The more we awaken to the feast of life even when things appear to be less than ideal, the more we are graced with even more gifts.”
