In my 20’s, whenever September rolled around, I was tempted to scream, “Wake me up when September ends.” Yeah, I know it is a quote. I probably read it someplace before. As I got older, I have learned to appreciate September. It is a time of year that brings so many things.

By all these lovely tokens, September days are here, with Summer’s best weather and Autumn’s best cheer

For me, it is a time of reflection and transition. I look at my yearly goals to determine exactly where I am. What I have accomplished, and what I need to release, revise or re-plan. It is time for me to make my fall/winter wish list for our home and closet.  Pack away my summer faves and evaluate my fall shoes/boots.

I decide what is worth donating, what I need to throw out, and what needs tender loving. Spring, Fall, and Winter are my favorite seasons, so September is a beautiful time for me.

I want to welcome September with you. I sincerely wish you a month of Autumn cheers, lots of laughter, memorable moments, pumpkin spice lattes, joy, and happiness. Be nice to yourself – do the things you enjoy, and don’t forget to send special blessings out on September 11th.
