Fall is my favorite season because I love the temperature, the clothing, the food, and the activities. This upcoming season is also my busiest season. From fun activities to work, goals I would like to accomplish these next four months.
I published my goals to motivate myself and inspire others
to do the same. Therefore, it makes it easier for me to accomplish them knowing
that others know about it and that I can visually see what I have
done.

September
Despite the absence of September, I still have goals to
achieve. Cleaning is on my list, but my activities are more entertaining.
- Cleaning out my closet because I cannot find anything!

- Take advantage of the sales going on that month. Labor Day is a suitable time to shop.
- Start a fall garden- It can be a vegetable or flower garden.
- Go on a road trip- With summer winding down, it makes sense to have a final road trip. Find a destination that may be closed once fall comes.
- Have a cookout- Keep up the tradition of having end-of-summer cookouts. Even friends and or family members. Allow them to bring their favorite or best dish.
- Read a book- I love reading books. I am going to seek out the authors I admire the most. I am also going to look for new books arriving.

- Buy new linen- Labor Day is the perfect time to take advantage of the deals on linen. Get your new sheets, towels, and bedding during that time.
- Mark your calendars for Love Note Day on September 26th and make sure to send a love note. The day is to allow you to send love notes to your significant other.
- Take a break and enjoy a pleasant walk outside.
- Look at the changing leaves. Seeing the different leaf colors is a sight of beauty.
- Take a trip to a bookstore in your community, support them, and find a book or books to read during the autumn season.
In October I am looking forward to the temperature finally
feeling like fall. When the temperatures cool, I can wear all those cozy
sweaters and stylish coats. The cooling temperatures also put me in the mood to
cook more! So, I am looking forward to eating comfort food. I also plan to
catch up on reading.
