Thank you for reading the September 2021 issue of This Awful Awesome Life! Every issue of our magazine is available to read on our website and we invite you to read any articles you may have missed. We hope you’ll join us next month as we celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Apple Month and Halloween.

Lilly Kauffman and Orlando Bartro will be back with articles. We’ll have a book review, reading suggestions for adults and kids, and we’ll challenge you with a new quiz.

Linda Cahill will have more quick and delicious recipes courtesy of Pampered Chef and our October soup in The Twelve Months of Soup will be Slow Cooker Black Bean Chili paired with Pomegranate and Wild Rice Salad.

Don’t miss October in Pictures and my Q&A with a local artisan who rescues, refinishes, and reimagines pieces of furniture.

Until next month, stay safe, stay well, you are important, and you are loved!

All my best,
