What Month Are We In? | September ’20 Letter from the Editor

YA’LL HOW IS IT SEPTEMBER?! I cannot believe it. As stressful and crazy this year has been, it’s been going by so quick (thankfully honestly). It’s time for my monthly check-in with ya’ll where I catch ya’ll up to what’s been going on in my mind and what I intend to set for the next month.

August I celebrated three years living in Austin and three years working at my full-time job. I also finally got out of my creative rut with my brand that has re-energized me to keep going which has been so exciting for me. It was also a month of starting a brand new relationship which has been so great (more to come on that later hehe).

Nonetheless while August flew by, I feel pretty good going into September. Some doors have opened and closed towards the end of the month that kind of made my path ahead more clear.

I haven’t had the chance to sit down and collect my thoughts on my goals for September, but I had a moment today to think about what would truly guide me this month. Rather than setting super specific goals like normal, I am going to live by certain pillars to guide me through whatever feels right. Whether it be fitness, music, business, personal, etc., I am letting these four pillars keep me grounded to get through the month:

1. Consistency: Staying consistent with maintaining relationships, putting out content, continuing my health and fitness journey, and working hard at my job.
2. Presence: Whatever I do this month just be totally present in it. I tend to overthink or have my mind in other places while doing something else so I want to be present in whatever I do.
3. Flexibility: If 2020 has taught me anything, it has truly been expect the unexpected (Big Brother reference lol). I want to not let things shake me up when they don’t go to plan and keep moving forward.
4. Grace: Lastly, I want to give myself grace throughout this month. If something doesn’t get done or if I need to give myself a break, I will do it. If I need a self-care night, then that’s what I need to do.

I hope this inspires you to go inward and figure out how to serve YOU and show up for yourself this month. There is only one you and you need to take care of yourself in this crazy time we’re living in. I’m sending you my love and good vibes for an amazing September!
