Welcome to the September edition of Sweet Tea & Friends! Grab a warm mug or a tall glass of iced tea, settle into your favorite cozy spot, and let’s catch up.

As the calendar turns, it’s always so special to watch our global community shift together. To my friends here in the North, warm wishes as we lean into crisp mornings, golden hour light, and the very first gentle whispers of autumn. And to my dear friends south of the equator, a heartfelt happy Spring as your days brighten, gardens wake up, and fresh blossoms start to bloom!

No matter what season is unfolding right outside your window, I am so glad you are here. Let’s pour a cup, catch up, and share what’s on our hearts this month.
