I got. I have a lot of ideas for sure for show ideas for you today, but I’m going to stick with one that’s been coming up over and over and over again. Betsy [00:00:18]:But before I get to that, I just want to say, like, happy pumpkin spice season. I’m more of a peppermint season kind of girly, but I will say this. I’m more. I like pie over cake. So we’re heading into my season, right. But also, I like peppermint over pumpkin spice, but not in smells. So. So I’m excited for peppermint mocha. Betsy [00:00:44]:Coffee is coming. But also, I’m so excited for pumpkin spice candles and apple candles. I’ll tell you, it brought me, like, a certain level of joy this weekend to have football on. Just the sound of it, like the ritual of it. I don’t know. It was really nice. My husband was gone for the whole day. That’s really nice. Betsy [00:01:06]:So this is, like a really good season. And it’s so interesting to me because, you know, if you’ve been here for a long time, if you’ve followed this show for a long time, you know that I’m a beach girly. Historically, I have been a beach girly, and I have dreamed about going to the beach. In fact, I was looking in an old, old journal that I found, and it almost made me cry. Today I was looking in this old journal, and I had written down, like, every day I’ll write down five things I appreciate, and then I’ll bless my house, bless my family, bless my body, bless my work, bless my dogs, whatever that is. And I put bless my future beach, wherever it is. And it almost made me sad because I was like, oh, God. I mean, I was so in deep longing for the beach, and which is probably why I didn’t get it, because I was needy, I was thirsty for it. Betsy [00:02:11]:But it’s so interesting to me because historically, that’s where I’ve always been. Beach, summer. That’s my jamden. But last year I noticed, and this year, like, heading into fall, I’m happy, I feel good, I’m excited about fall, fashion, all the things, having the football on and all the things. And so I started thinking this weekend I was, like, really clearing stuff out because I had space. Not everybody was home. And I was going through some old clothes that I don’t wear anymore and getting some stuff ready to bring to goodwill. And I started thinking about this book and I want to share this book with you. Betsy [00:02:48]:I started thinking about this book that I had read years ago, and I think I probably talked about it on the show. My husband read it after I shared it with him. But I think when we moved, when we moved into this house last year, it must have gotten lost in transition. That’s the only thing I can think. I do occasionally weed out books, so it’s possible that it got weeded out because I thought, I’ve read it, I’ve read it a couple times or referenced it and my husband’s read it, so let’s make room for new books. And although that’s a solid thought right there, make room for new books. I was like, I really want to read that book again, so I want to tell you what the book is. And if you just happen to be a man, I know we have,
