Real quick question: How – seriously how – is it November already?
I understand time and all, but 2025 is going faster, right?!
This season is one of my favorites… cooler weather, sweaters and boots, desert season, holidays and family time, a (slightly) slower pace at work as we lead into December.
This month is full of so many people I love. I am so grateful for all the plans… and maybe a little tired in advance. 😅
The Plans:
- Visit with my best friends
- Desert Camping with my family
- Travel to Texas for a family visit with my cousins, aunt and uncles
- Celebrate some family birthdays, including my husband’s and mom’s
- Thanksgiving with family
It is going to be a beautiful, whirlwind month as demonstrated by the fact that I had intentions to post this much earlier in the month.
To be realistic with what I can personally accomplish in such a full month, I have scaled back my personal goals for November to just a few.
The Goals:
- Invest time in creative projects, such as this blog and our family’s YouTube Channel that my husband leads (and loves!).
- Manage work and holiday stress through regular planning, sleep, and exercise.
I will share soon my current tools for planning and tracking all the things.
The Gratitude:
I am so grateful for the opportunity to see so many of my loved ones this month. I know that is a privilege in the state of today’s world that I never want to take for granted. ❤️
Happy November, friends. May it bring you all that you need.
It is always great seeing you and the family. Have a safe November with all your travels. Love ya
