My September Resolution

Welcome all to my new blog! If you already know me, feel free to skip this little intro paragraph and get to the real blog post below. For those who don’t, hello! My name is Madison Taylor, and I’m the author of this little blog. For you to better understand my everyday musings and ideas, let me give you a little backstory. Although I was born in Atlanta nearly 23 years ago, I essentially grew up in the Northern United States. I was raised playing in fields near Amish farms in Pennsylvania, skating on frozen lakes in Minnesota, and learning to drive in the bustling suburbs of Chicago. So when my parents announced we’d be moving back to Atlanta, I was excited but essentially unprepared for such a Southern culture shock. Now it’s six years later and I’ve grown to love sweet tea, Sunday lunch, and SEC football. So that’s my past, and I’m looking forward to how it will shape my future! While I may be a born again Southern belle, I did manage to find a wonderful Midwestern boy to keep me grounded. He’ll be all mine in May 2013! Who knows where our life will take us, but as long as we have each other and God, we’ll always have stories to tell. So here goes nothing.

It’s September. What do you think of when you think about September? The beginning of Fall? (and cooler weather, thank Heavens) The start of football season? (War Eagle) Starbucks’ pumpkin spice latte? (best.coffee.ever.)
The start of the school year???
If you are still in school or you have kids in school, you understand what I’m talking about when I say I think of years in terms of academic calendars, not January to December. When September rolls around I start rousing my motivation to complete another semester, so its almost as if I make my New Year’s resolutions in the ninth month of the year rather than the first.
This year is different though. I feel the same itch, the one that says “hey, time to get off the lazy couch of summer and get to work”, it’s just this year I don’t have anything to get working on. Hence this blog.
So I’m making a September resolution, if you will. A resolution to invest in my journalistic career by publishing this blog. Maybe you’re in the same boat. You need something to work towards to fulfill a desire to be productive. Or maybe you just like to keep busy. Whatever it is, find something you love and do it. Make a September resolution to do something worthwhile! If you need an idea, stay tuned. I plan to post some great recipes and hobby ideas in the next few days to get everyone excited for this wonderful season!
Until then, happy fall y’all!
