Hello friends, and welcome or welcome back to the blog!
Quote for today
“If you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.”― Marilyn Monroe
How are you today? I hope you are staying productive, reading a good book, getting plenty of water and rest, and enjoying some seasonal tea.
Once again, I’m in catch-up mode! My 31 Days of Halloween series went smoothly (a little planning magic goes a long way), but it left me sidestepping my usual posts. As I finally close out September, I can’t help but marvel at how October sped by in a Wonder Woman twirl. Between movie nights, spooky festivities, good food, and my birthday, I tried to savor every moment. Now that the month has passed, I can sit back and reminisce on all the fall fun.

***Boards in September!***
My schedule was packed for September, so I had time for just one board: “What’s at Walmart This Fall”. I did purchase #8 (by the way). It’s beautiful…Go-Walmart! Go-Walmart!
*** September Highlights***
Have you ever created something you thought was simple, but people found pure joy in it? That’s precisely what happened with my Fall edition of “This or That.” The online community really embraced it, so I’m highlighting it (well, the entire post) here once again. It’s a fun printable I created a few years ago. As long as you link back to this site, feel free to use it!
Movies, * documentaries *, and TV for September
We saw a few and, due to The Conjuring: Last Rights premier, started watching the franchise, which “technically” starts with The Nun. My head was primarily in a book and playing my favorite games.

🎬 Final Destination: Bloodlines 🎬 (6.8, IMDb)
🍿 Death of a Unicorn 🍿👎🏽 (5.9 IMDb)
September in Books
I completed my Goodreads Challenge in August, but I’m keeping the momentum going. Right before my October Halloween series, I posted my ‘Bookish Newsletter’, so I’d like that as well.

November Calendars!
Since I’m late posting, it doesn’t make sense to add September or October calendars now that the months are gone, so I’m including the two I created for November.
Season 4 is Live and published bi-weekly (sorta)!
Well, I haven’t exactly had time to post anything with my busy September and October. I have things ready to post and a podcast to edit, but I haven’t had the time. Hoping to get back to it soon.
Well, friends, I think I’ve covered everything for September. Thanks so much for stopping by today. It means the world to me. Don’t forget to follow and subscribe to my little piece of happiness. — Peace
