Fall is here and your girl couldn’t be happier! I’ve always had a great relationship with October because it’s the perfect month of chilly, but bearable weather, beautiful fall colors and cozy vibes all around. If you love fall just as much as I do, then definitely make sure you check out my previous blog post on BEST PLACES TO CATCH FALL FOLIAGE IN USA and BEST FALL ACTIVITIES IN NYC.
As I look back at September, I am filled with joy because it was a beautiful month and I felt like I discovered a new rhythm. I prioritize self reflection because I always want to check in with myself to make sure I am showing up in a way that aligns with my authentic self and I’m on the right path to living my dream life. Reflecting on my September goals, I can confidently say that I did in fact finalize my Istanbul trip and I actually just came back last week, so everything went better than expected. When it comes to traveling, there are always hiccups along the way, but that’s what makes traveling so unique and fun. (I will be writing a dedicated post on my Turkey adventures, so stay tuned for that next week!).Â
My second goal was to have a PR strategy and although I haven’t finalized that yet, it is still on my to do list, which I will carry into this month. And my last goal was to prioritize mental health and that’s one category that I have excelled in. I noticed that I was still consistent with my morning routine involving meditation and journaling, but I wasn’t truly present in my practice. I made an effort to wake up even earlier since I know I like to have slower mornings. I also changed up my meditation process and the tiny switch of being in my own thoughts and reciting affirmations for myself has been a game changer!
Now that October has arrived, here are my main goals for this month:
- Prioritize my masterclass: I am so excited to announce that I am launching a masterclass with The Exclusive Networking Club and it will take place on October 20 at 9 am EST. I will be talking all about Landing Partnerships and Building Relationships on Instagram. If you are interested in joining and would like to know more details, feel free to click on this website.
- Visit Catskills: Last year, I was fortunate to visit The Catskills three times and I fell in love with the fall foliage. Now that I have a car, it makes it so much easier for me to just pack up and go. I love that the fall foliage only happens during this time of the year so I won’t miss it and I’m excited to see the beauty again!
- Go apple/pumpkin picking:Â Similar to the fall foliage, I absolutely love going apple and pumpkin picking because it’s very timely and appropriate for the season. I also feel like once October ends, this activity is no longer available, so this is also going to be a huge priority!
If you can’t already tell, I’m really excited for October. After coming back from an international trip, it’s great to relax and explore more of what my beautiful state has to offer! I would love to hear what your main priority is for this month 🙂

I want to go to the Catskills during Fall too! We are going apple picking/pumpkin picking on Wednesday.
That’s so exciting! Where?
Oh, how fun to go apple picking. We did that the first fall we moved here, but it was a tad sad. Nothing like in the midwest, haha. I guess it’s hard to grow apples in the desert.

It probably isn’t extravagant as it is in the midwest for New York either haha but I still enjoy it 🙂
These are great goals – I’m sure you will smash them Mariann 🙂 x
