Fall, Q4, and ENJOYing what matters most


Happy Fall, Y'all!

Cool weather, pumpkin spice lattes and fall décor.—I LOVE this time of year.

Mainly because it means Christmas is right around the corner (I'd put my Christmas tree up today if my husband would let me. Lol.)

The leaves don't change much here in SoCal, but the direction of the sun and the cool winds definitely do. I've been to Michigan in the fall, though, and wow—those colors are beautiful.

Beautiful.

Can you sense the change?

In your home?

In your mind?

In the deepest parts of your soul?

We've been walking through my G.R.A.C.E. organizing method. I hope you've played along and organized an area of your home, too.

The final step in the process is E = ENJOY!

Which feels so fitting for this season! (And no, I didn't plan this months ago. Lol.)

October is all about the seasons shifts, fall decorating and Halloween fun.

Then November ushers us into gratitude and thanksgiving.

But here's the thing: in our hustle culture, we blow past moments thankfulness.

—moments where we could simply ENJOY.

Enjoy the peace we've created in our homes.

Enjoy the projects we've wrapped up.

Enjoy the transformation we've worked so hard for.

As women, we sometimes feel guilty for celebrating those wins.

That changes.

Today.

This month, let's start gratitude early.

➡️ ENJOY the organizing projects you've completed.

➡️ ENJOY the work projects you wrapped up.

➡️ ENJOY the life changes—even the hard ones.

Bible Inspo:

". . . there is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can. And people should eat and drink and enjoy the fruits of their labor for these are gifts from God." Ecclesiastes 3:12-13 (NLT)

How do you ENJOY?

Here are a few simple ideas:

  • Love self-care? Enjoy your newly organized bathroom by taking an extra long bubble bath. Or try a fresh new makeup look.
  • Do you like flowers? Grab a fresh bunch (TJ's is the cheapest!). Put them in a vase you just discovered from decluttering and ENJOY them everyday.
  • Like coffee or tea? ENJOY a fresh cup in your newly organized kitchen.

You get the idea!

ENJOY.

Enjoy the fall.

Enjoy the season of change your life is in right now.

Enjoy your friends and family.

Enjoy your home.

Enjoy that we are in Q4—homestretch, baby!

Take a moment to reflect:

What goals did you have this year for organizing?

For business?

For spiritual?

Something, the amazing, Glennda Donate (Master Life, Biz, Relationship, Couples & Transformation Coach that helps brilliant people, just like you, get unstuck!) tought me last year was to really process your goals and feel them in your body.

Do they feel good?

Why or why not?

I remember telling her goals I SHOULD have and SHOULD do.

Ways I SHOULD be spending money in my business.

The SHOULDS I was getting from other organizers in an organizing mastermind I was in.

. . . and they were stressing me out!

They were other people's goals.

Not mine.

She gently guided me to open my mind to consider my goals and finances in a way that fits me, my body, my soul.

I'm getting a little woohoo.

But, I love it!

I was thinking about all of this the other day.

Then next in my podcast cue was Jenna Kutcher's latest podcast on Q4 goal setting.

It's amazing.

It's like Glennda coached Jenna. Lol.

. . . ad I confess I've listened to it 2x.

The way Jenna phrased this question, made Glennda's work come to life for me:

"How do I want to feel as I'm achieving this?"

"How do I want to move through this as I'm achieving it?"

Will my goals in Q4 and moving into January 1st, breathe life into me, my business and my family?

Or do my goals suck it right out of me?

Are they other people's goals or are they truly mine?

Bringing it full circle to our topic of ENJOY.

Am I even enjoying my Q4 goals?

Have I hit any goals that I need to reflect on and ENJOY that I just did that?

I'm pausing to consider this month:

When I go about doing my goals that are in a place right now in Q4, if something feels off, forced, or fake and it feels like when I get to the end I won't want to enjoy or celebrate it, I'm not doing it.

I'm taking it off the list.

Why by the way, in case no one's told you, you can RELEASE goals that aren't serving you just like you can release clutter.

So, let's step into into fall—Q4—with more ease and fulfillment.

Let's ENJOY this beautiful season of change.

ENJOY the winds of fall as they whisper to you, great job for RELEASING what doesn't serve you at home and in your business.

Don’t forget your soul this holiday season. I have a 9-month-old at home, a husband recovering from major back surgery, a business to run, a book to market, and 2026 to plan so I don’t get left in the dust by AI. Today it hit me.Like a freight train.Overwhelming tiredness. This time, I actually took a nap when my little sweet pea did. Every year I plan to slow down during this season because it’s my absolute favorite. But then Black Friday deals happen… and that gets my head spinning about my...

Early Black Friday Sales! Who doesn't love a good sale! This time of year, I do pay attention to businesses and products that actually offer a good deal for Black Friday. Normally, I purchase a couple of business deals and one or two personal deals for myself that help me move my business and personal goals forward at a price that doesn't break the bank. I've done a little digging for you... and here are some really good Early Black Friday Deals*! (*for anything related to Amazon or Dubsado,...

Hi beautiful friend, I'm still on a high after my new book reached the #1 slot on 11-12-25 on Amazon in the Christian Self-help category!!! It was so unexpected and thrilling! Thank you all for your love and support. I also recorded a podcast too (coming out next year) and have several in the cue. Good stuff is happening! But what you really want to know, though, is how to better organize and get ready for the holidays. Every year around this time, I see the same thing happen inside my own...
