October 2024
Fall is here!
This photo reminds me of walking my daughter to school along the dog trail behind the apartments. Lately the sun is lower in the sky and the shade is chilly. Of course I'm a tad older than the older girl pictured here, but only because I've done Autumn a "few" more times, not because I feel any older. Perhaps it's Autumn's job to remind us that while youth is beautiful, so are the memories of youth. That we can let things go and that we now know a few more things and are poised to guide and share from a place of confidence.

AH! October skies.
Did you know, that during sunrise and sunset in the fall, the light from the sun must pass through more of our atmosphere before reaching our eyes, so it comes into contact with even more molecules in the air—this means the blue light gets scattered away, making the reds and oranges more pronounced.
Our color combination this month is appropriately named, Sunset Glow and is comprised of yellows and oranges that will warm your thoughts and your stories!

You’ve done it since you were a girl—AND—it’s really, really good for your brain and mental focus. It’s also a proven way to increase your creativity. This month, when you are on the phone, watching TV or YouTube or waiting in the car, you’re invited to DOODLE.
Doodle your thoughts or like the illustration here, simply free draw a curvy line to discover where it will end up. Let yourself be curious about your doodles. Would you ever doodle on a scrapbook page or use doodling to enhance a story?
Love Your Library Video
Let’s review either our physical or digital workflow with the goal of making doable revisions and getting to the “finish line” more often. You’ll need THIS workflow game—and be sure to watch before our WWW session on October 9th, so you’ll be prepared!
