This September 2026 will be my tenth September Fast since I began in 2017. I have been asked what the purpose is of this fast and several posts have been written explaining the reason behind it all, but I think "Lessons Learned" gets right to the overall reason! https://thescarlettroad.com/2019/09/19/lessons-learned/?fbclid=IwY2xjawNEz1BleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFsY2VqRGdEUktIVjRJdm1CAR6sAEqxfpY1ESzbtpz-9g1yM4CaHLlZdkUJw4V_aZwLhdgZtyvWeFqVbUAiDw_aem_Fr-rzSZdv1NwP9NEgSgjDQ?page_id=2080
