Kate,

Can you believe we’re already into month 4 of our challenges??  We’ve tackled so much this summer and it’s felt sensational to be creative and productive.  That said, the season will change to fall soon and I think some of us may have fallen a bit behind.

Falling aside, the whole autumn season really is about letting go, which always leads me right down the path of reflection.  So it’s with that inspiration that I think we should embark on our September double dares.  We’ll revisit our past challenges each week of the month, and then we’ll surprise each other with a week 4 mini-challenge!

So the first few weeks look like this:

  • Week 1: Contemplating PRIDE
  • Week 2: Contemplating SUPERHEROES
  • Week 3: Contemplating BACK TO SCHOOL

Lastly we come to week 4.  Because it’s so easy for all of us to get wrapped up in the one billion things we have going in our lives and fall behind, I dare you to post your daily to-do list on our blog AND check-off each item.  That’s right, for the week of 9/24-9/30, you will have to blog your non-job-related tasks for the day (appointments, reading, errands, yoga class, etc.) and then let us know how you did.  The whole idea is to focus on what you need to accomplish and then make it happen.  I think it’ll be a little difficult, but for one week totally manageable.  And even more, it’s a great practice of letting go of distractions and impulsive procrastination.

At the end of the month, and with the new season upon us, you will rise up to a fantastic fall knowing you have a clean slate.  Good luck!
