Like every month, October offered its fair share of lessons – some arriving joyfully and some learned the hard way. Adventures (#3 below) included hiking new-to-me trails in the fall foliage and trying some unique business opportunities, pumpkin creamer (#4) has been added to my morning coffee and my evening tea, and I have been reminded that if I’m wondering about something it’s a) likely someone else is, too, and b) better to ask (#8) and get an answer than to make up a story about it in my mind.
Below are a few of the many lessons October brought my way:
1. Run your own race.
2. Have the hard conversation.
3. Accept the adventure.
4. Add the pumpkin creamer.
5. Believe the best…
6. …And respect the facts.
7. Step away from the drama.
8. Ask the question.
9. Start fresh.
10. Keep it simple.
