Living OUTSTANDING- September 2026

September always seems to bring a shift in energy. Summer begins to fade, schedules settle into new routines, and I find myself turning a little more toward learning, planning, and thinking ahead. This month has been a mix of professional development, new discoveries, meaningful connections, and some really nice moments with family along the way.

In this issue, I’ll share the pair of socks I’m Obsessed with, along with Updates on some of the learning and strategy work happening behind the scenes in my real estate business. A practical Treasure continues to make it easy to leave my purse behind, while Sounds & Stage brought a fun movie night with my daughter.

On the Tech front, I discovered an interesting way to compare multiple AI tools at once, and I’m filled with Anticipation for a girls’ weekend in New York City next month. This month’s Networking brought new connections through a multi-chamber event, while my Discoveries led me to a new Akron restaurant I’m already planning to revisit.

Inspiration came from watching an incredible display of talent, discipline, and teamwork at Ohio State, while a Notable book about making the most of college gave me plenty to think about as a mom of a college student. And as always, I’ll close with Gratitude, this month for a simple dinner and movie with Abby that felt especially meaningful now that she’s away at college.

As we officially settle into fall, I hope this edition inspires you to stay curious, keep learning, make time for the people you love, and appreciate the little things that make everyday life a little more outstanding. I’d love to hear—what made your September outstanding?
