Hey Reader,

It’s Halloween 🎃 — the official start of the season where everything speeds up.

Between business projects, client work, and all the extra holiday plans, it’s so easy to blink and realize the entire stretch from Halloween to Christmas has flown by.

But I don’t want this season to just happen, so my goal is simple: to be fully present with my daughter.
​
She’s still young, and I want to soak in every bit of awe and wonder this season brings — the costumes, the lights, the joyful laughs and, hopefully, some quiet moments in between.

What about you?
​
What’s your big goal for the next month or so? Maybe it’s personal, maybe it’s business — or maybe it’s just about creating a little more space for what matters most.

Hit reply and tell me — in a word, a sentence, or an uncohesive ramble. I read every response.

Rooting for your version of ease this season,
​
🌸 Dana

P.S. I’ll trade you a reply for a reply — it’s truly my favorite part of this whole email thing.
