Happy September!
Longtime blog readers may recall my “weeks in review” turned “months in review” over the years. Since I hadn’t posted one in a year, I thought I’d share a season in review.
This reflection exercise allows me to stay accountable, set and review goals, celebrate, and note what needs adjustment. I duplicate this process in my Daybook, too, since I’m a paper lover!
You’ll also find an assortment of summer’s photos plus a roundup of many things TDJ this past season. Although I know summer isn’t technically over until September 22, Labor Day often feels like a transition period into cooler weather, back to school, and an overall energetic shift.
Grab your planner, review your photos, and note how your summer dreams unfolded. List your highlights and consider what you’d like to experience, do, and/or be in the season ahead. Bisous. x
