Lately, I’ve been drawn to stories that explore connection, resilience, and the quiet power of transformation. Each show or series I’ve watched lately has offered something different: a moment of reflection, a spark of outrage, or a comforting escape. Here’s a glimpse into what’s been on my screen and on my mind.
Late September unfolded with a rhythm of renewal, connection, and unexpected turns. From home projects to miraculous moments, each day carried its own weight…some light and celebratory, others sobering and full of grace.
From sunrises to silly filters, these snapshots caught the warmth tucked into everyday in early September.
September arrived with its usual rhythm. Back-to-school routines, shifting light, and a quiet invitation to reflect. This month held a mix of ordinary tasks and extraordinary moments, each day offering something to be thankful for.

Here’s a look back, one day at a time. My template: -Thankful for: -Sum up today in 1 sentence/Or one memorable thing from today: Number of Steps: Monday/9.1.2025 – Holidays – Got more done with…

As we inch closer to a long-awaited vacation, there’s a sense of movement, both outward and inward.
