Although summer is my favorite, I do love September. The changing colors outside are gorgeous and (usually) the weather takes its time transitioning to full on freezing. I also love fresh starts and fall resolutions and getting back to routine, perhaps especially this time around when I've been out of it for so many weeks. I feel a bit behind in general as I attempt to catch up on everything personally and professionally in addition to preparing for a major move back to the States in just three months (that in and of itself is both exhilarating and anxiety-provoking simultaneously!). And while there's so much to do and I have a tendency to just dive into it all full-steam ahead, I am continuously proving to myself that its usually best to get the basics under control first and foremost. And while you may be rolling your eyes at my being slow on the uptake at this stage - it is easy for us all to underestimate the power of foundational habits.
