-It’s September! I know it’s not officially fall just yet but once the month of September hits I start my transition into my favorite time of year.
– Bringing out my fall wardrobe…Hello!…boots, sweaters, scarfs and leather jackets!
– A date with my girlfriend Ali, her husband David & little boy Charlie who were visiting from New York. I hadn’t met Charlie yet and he is so damn cute! I’ve said it before and I will say it again…seeing your closest friends become mothers is the sweetest.
– Being invited into two book clubs this month. Clearly, I’ve got some reading to do. The books on the line-up…”Everything I Never Told You” & “The Luckiest Girl Alive”
– Our newly painted bedroom accent wall. It’s love
– Planning a trip in November to visit my step father Irv in Kansas City and my girlfriend Chantal and her family in Atlanta. It will be so funny to travel without Brian- I haven’t done it in years!
– The green monkey smoothie…kale, coconut water, almond milk, dates, cinnamon, bananas & coconut meat. OMG
– One of Brian’s projects, Pershing Square Renew, launched on Tuesday. I decided to go to the launch of it which was held downtown at City Hall (I’ve never been there- such a beautiful building). It’s always so fun to see him in action and support his passions. Here’s a write-up about it complete with a quote from Bri!
– Red toes and nude nails
– The way Frank cuddles into my legs in the morning when Brian delivers both him and coffee to bed.
– This note from the Universe I received yesterday…
Start it; you don’t have to be fancy.
Keep moving; you don’t have to go crazy.
Visualize; you don’t have to admit it.
See the end result; it doesn’t have to be material.
Expect miracles; they don’t have to be huge.
Pretend you’ve arrived; you don’t have to dance on tables.
And above all else, Kate, have fun.
This is why you started it, right?
Life, what a trip –
The Universe

So…what’s been making you guys happy recently??
> Hooray for the fall wardrobe! I’m so excited for scarfs & boots!
> My book club is taking off this month and is watching a movie instead; however, I’m reading several books on my own right now and recommend the nonfiction book ‘Triggers: Creating Behavior That Lasts” and fiction book “Happiness for Beginners”
> I love that Brian brought you both coffee & Frank in bed 🙂
> I NEED to try yoga. I will attend a class before September is over!
> That smoothie sounds delish! I’ve been on a major smoothie kick lately!
Tell me more about the book club watching a movie…what movie?! I love that idea! There are so many classics I have yet to see 🙂
Yay fall! I keep trying to think about fall wardrobes but it’s still so hot! I’m ready for some flannel in my life. Everything I Never Told You is probaby my favorite book in YEARS – I can’t wait to hear what you think. Stock up on tissues. Have a great weekend! xx
OMG- I literally cannot put “Everything I Never Told You” down. So so so so so so good.
I am happy in Fall, as well, as it’s the season of my birth. Your plans, as usual, sound awesome. It is always a confirmation when a spouse supports a mate’s efforts, both great and small. May it always be mutual for you two.
Thank you as always for your kind and supportive words. I so appreciate them. Oh and Happy Birthday season!!! I hope you have a beautiful one 🙂
There’s so much goodness here, Kate! Fall, books, painted walls, yoga, travel, and amazing partner, the always spot-on notes from the Universe! Thanks for sharing + spreading your joy. I can feel it all the way over here on my Monday morning. Love to you! xo
Thank you lovely Liz! I so wish we lived closer to each other! Long chats with would most definitely make my happy list. Love to you! xo
I am discovering more of my new home state and loving it 🙂 Happy Day – Enjoy!
Exploring is the best! Enjoy! Happy day 🙂
