Newsletter 012: October 2024
Hi, friends!
🌟 Welcome to October’s Newsletter! 🥳📝💻 As we embrace the changing season, this month is all about celebrating the journey of getting through each day, One-Day-Atta-Time. As a human we all experience those days when we feel a bit low or blue, and I’ve learned that creating silver linings for yourself can truly make all the difference.
My hope is that this month’s Photo Session Giveaway can be that little spark of joy someone is looking forward to. Having something on your calendar that reminds you “better times are ahead” can really help turn your day around! Rather that be booking tickets to see your favorite musician in concert when they come to town, or planning a dinner date with an old friend. All silver linings are important no matter how thick or thin. I’ve learned that during challenging times, having something to anticipate can really lift our spirits, so let’s shine a light on those silver linings! 😁💖
This One-Day-Atta-Time Photo Session was designed to give you something to look forward to while capturing you in your current chapter of life. It’s an opportunity for your present-self to slow down and for your future-self to cherish irreplaceable moments. Open to everyone – whether you’re local in Austin with me or willing to make the journey – this opportunity is about more than just taking photos; it’s about capturing a moment in time that reflects your true self.

WHAT ARE ONE-DAY-ATTA-TIME PHOTO SESSIONS?
This month, I’m excited to pay it forward with a special photo session giveaway! ✨ I believe it’s essential to have something to look forward to, especially when times are tough. We all need those little moments of joy on the horizon—something that helps us push through the darker days.
I completely understand those mornings where the only exciting thing is the thought of going back to sleep because your body and soul are just that tired. But here’s the thing—having something to look forward to, no matter how small, can truly make all the difference in your day.
That’s why this photo session is about more than just pictures; it’s about creating an experience that fills your heart with joy. Whether the session takes place somewhere that brings you happiness or holds special memories, this is about capturing moments that uplift you.
Before the session, we’ll hop on a Discovery Call to ensure we’re a great fit and to chat about details that reflect your unique journey. My hope is that this experience will be meaningful, joyful, and most importantly, something that brings you hope for brighter days ahead.
If you feel called to participate, I encourage you to apply! Everyone is welcome to seize this chance to see themselves in a new light. Remember, this experience is about more than just photographs—it’s about having something to look forward to.

BOOK OF THE MONTH: “1000 Things You Don’t Know About Me” — I chose this book for October because it’s a fun journal to choose one day and not give that much thought/time to. When going through a rough time I like to keep my routines as simple as I can, because often times it’s not about what the routine is, but that I’m able to keep a promise to myself that I’ll “meet myself” each day.
MONTHLY NEWSLETTER PLAYLIST // This month’s playlist was unhinged in the best ways by adding 67 songs. Throughout the month of September as I was taking it One-Day-Atta-Time, I was adding favorite songs to this playlist that helped me get through the day and envision a brighter future for October. I hope these songs bring you joy too! Please enjoy 😎❤️🎶
TOP FAVORITE SONGS FOR OCTOBER 2024: Thanks for your patience! Please visit the Monthly Newsletter Playlist linked above to start listening now and return back here October 2, 2024 to see the full list and order of the songs. Thanks so much!
QUOTE OF THE MONTH: “You need the dark in order to see the light.” -Bob Ross
WORD OF THE MONTH: Words are the foundation of human communication and expression. They allow us to convey our thoughts, feelings, ideas, and experiences to others, creating a bridge between our inner world and the external reality. Every word carries its own unique power and nuance, shaping the way we perceive and interact with the world. Having a “Word of the Month” has been me a source of inspiration, sparked creative thinking, and promoted my love for language. This month’s word is “zeal”.
Zeal: (noun) passionate enthusiasm for something that’s coming up
Example: Emily approached the launch of her new newsletter with zeal, pouring her passion and creativity into every detail, eager to share it with the world.
RECIPE OF THE MONTH: Chicken Noodle Soup
This section of the newsletter is dedicated to my Mom, who loves cooking our favorite Cajun recipes that were passed down to her from her Mom, my MawMaw. This month though I’ll be sharing a fun after school treat my mom would made on our 1st Day of School. Each year me and my sisters would get home and the traditional chocolate brownies and lemonade was waiting for us. It was a fun tradition that started the school year off and I’m always reminded of it each August as schools start back in session for the year. Tbh, these were not homemade and we would typically use boxed brownie and lemonade. I hope you enjoy this one 🙂 from my kitchen to yours —
INGREDIENTS:
- chicken breasts – boneless skinless chicken thighs would also work, as well as rotisserie chicken (added near the end of cooking for rotisserie)
- carrots
- yellow onion – you could also use a sweet onion
- 3-4 celery ris
- garlic cloves, minced – fresh garlic is best in this soup
- bay leaves
- fresh romsemary – if you don’t have access to the fresh herbs, add in 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning instead.
- dried thyme
- chicken broth
- Salt & Black Pepper
- extra-wide egg noodles
- fresh parsley
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Lay the chicken breasts in the bottom, along with the sliced carrots, diced onions, sliced celery, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary and bay leaves.
- Pour the chicken broth over the top. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours (or on high for 4 hours).
- Remove the chicken breasts to a plate and shred with two forks. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the chicken breasts to a plate and shred with two forks. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the egg noodles to the crock pot. Cover and cook high for another 2- minutes.
- Add a different pasta shape in a bit sooner than the egg noodles since they will take longer to cook.
- Add the shredded chicken and chopped parsley back into the soup.
