In contemplating how I want to approach this trip around the sun, I did decide that at this point in life I do better with "More/Less/Continue" and "To Do" lists than with goals or intentions. I think my theme for this year is “Exploration and Adventures” plus of course the usual get stuff done.
I let the month get off to a slow start including 2 days feeling very tired after getting a flu shot but I want every month of this trip around the sun to count. I did get started or complete a few things.

I love how detailed and intentional your More/Less/Continue approach is. It makes September feel purposeful without being overwhelming. Your mix of self-care, family time, and adventures really hits that balance we all strive for. Can’t wait to see all the explorations and projects come together! www.melodyjacob.com
