Besides the cooler weather and earlier sunsets, October has been my special month for the past 23 years as I celebrate my daughter’s birthday. On a beautiful and colorful Thursday like today, I gave birth to my firstborn, my lovely daughter Youricka. Being a mother has been so fulfilling that I am giving Him thanks every day. Despite all the tears, the frustrations, and the doubt, motherhood has been my most rewarding role in life.

Aside from being thankful and celebrating my daughter’s birthday, I tend to be more productive in October. Knowing the year is coming to an end soon gives me the strength to take on more projects and finish all the goals that I have set for the year.
Do you have the same desire as me to get things done and stop procrastinating? After reading my post, I want you to take action and start tackling your to-do list. Start with the small ones first. Finishing one task will surely give you, the desire to start a new one. Before you realize, you will be done with all your list and at the end of the year. Then, you will smile and pat yourself on the back.
Let this month of October inspire you to take action, do something good for someone else, and become the better version of yourself.
Happy month of October!
Love the title of your post, very informative content! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you!
Yes! I’m ready to be productive this month and get things done!
Good luck, Kimmy, you can do it.
October is always a very busy month for me, when I take part in the blogtober challenge, plus get christmas gift guides sorted and everything else.
I am curious to know about the blogtober, Samantha, share with me.
Thank you for this post such an inspiration, I need to push hard and get on with my goals even when I feel down I will try and move forward.
Let’s keep moving forward, Joan!
October is my favorite and busiest month!! But it’s the BEST time!
Having that mindset, you will have a productive month, Ashli!
I’m usually the same after summer: I try to whittle down my goals and accomplish a couple of things before the end of the year.
Let’s make it happen, Kemi!
That is an interesting look on october. I normally don’t really like it, because it gets colder and the days are shorter.
But it’s a good plan to be more productive
(and congratulations on you daughter)
I have left the cold and I am in a warmer climate, F-P, just make the best of the month, and thank you!
What a positive post! I do like October, mostly for the still warm temperature, the leafs changing color and the beautiful golden sunsets this month brings.
Enjoying the view of the trees is the best part, Joanna!
Happy birthday to your beautiful daughter!
I agree, let’s inspire others for the last 90 days of 2019. We could bring a new person into the New Year!
I can’t believe, we only have 90 days left, let’s be productive, Aissami!
Thank you for pointing me to the right direction. Yes, actually, I tend to be busier on October too. Rushing for the end of the year, perhaps.
Happy Birthday to you lovely daughter 🙂
Thank you so much, Crickette!
October is my mom and wife’s birthday so I’m inspired to work hard so that I could buy them gifts hahaha
Happy Birthday to them, Neil!
Thank you for this post and its very motivational content. Sometimes, it’s really difficult to be inspired and this kind of post kinda pushes me to go on. 🙂
Thank you, Quin!
Oh Marjie; say happy birthday to your daughter for me too! Anyway, you just gave us a positive look into October- it’s time to get things done as we almost get to the end of the year!
Thank you so much, Dalene, let’s be productive and make the most out of this month, Dalene!
Love this! It’s so important to have a positive attitude. So many people struggle with the changing seasons, but I’m glad it inspires you. Happy Birthday to your daughter.
Thank you, Junell!
I really want to accept that I sometimes get inspired by kids too…your inspiration can be anyone …important is to continue good and right work!!
I agree with you, my kids are my motivation in life, Ruchi!
I have about 5 other things i should be doing and two deadlings due last week. I struggle with procrastinating so much and give myself a goal every month. Hoping to slowly get there.
Hoping those autumn colours 😊
You should break your goal into short terms and every time, you complete one, you will reward yourself, and before you realize, you will be done, Kristina
I can totally relate with you. I feel that October is also my best month of the year. Though we don’t have any celebrations within the family. This is the time to year that makes me excited for Christmas and the new year to come. Same as you. I also get more strength to take on more projects and finish my goals.
This great, Clarice, and also, every day is a reason to celebrate life, every month is a celebration.
Loads of memories for me this month. Draws me closer ro myself and family. More work and connect inwards.. Happy Birthday to Your Child. You are an amazing mum…
Thank you, Lex!
Very informative. This kinds of posts really are inspirational thanks for sharing this
T.Y. Shadrack!
Yes! I need to get things done. I love doing the fall version of spring cleaning!
I need to do that, Komal!
Hi Marjie, I hope you’re well. Time really fliiieees and I wish it’d just slow down. My time of the year would be July – since most of my loved ones and me celebrates their birthday in July. But I can agree that October is wonderful and OMG! Just a few months and we’ll be celebrating Christmas!!
ps: Please greet your daughter happy birthday for me! <3
Thank you, Polly, my birthday is in July as well, and it’s also my month. October has a special meaning for me since 1996.
A very nice post on this time of the year. I love October and usually don’t need any expiration. The Hot Apple Cider, the Orchards, the Hayrides, and ultimately Halloween in all its frightful glory. Truly is the best time of the year. Thanks.
You are making me smile, let’s enjoy the frightful glory, Simon!
I love the topic on this post. Continue with your creative ideas!
T.Y.
I love October as well, the fall colors come to life and the weather starts to cool down which is my favorite time of the year. Happy birthday to your oldest! Hope you all have a great October.
Thank you, Luna, wishing you a blessed month of October as well.
First of all, Happy Birthday to your daughter! I agree that it’s a good month to look at those things you wanted to accomplish by the end of the year and make a plan.
I agree, thank you, Stephanie!
I love your enthusiasm to be productive! I had a very tough month and everything seemed to go wrong but this will not stop me from being inspired by you and do my best to be very productive in October which is also my birthday month! 🙂
I admire your positive attitude, Chelf, wishing you a successful month.
With a baby coming next month this month I need to do ALL THE THINGS! So I am ready to be inspired for sure!
Congratulations, Neely, remember to get some rest before next month as well.
Happy birthday to your charming daughter! Hard to believe the year is ending so yes, let’s get working on those to-do lists!!
Thank you, Joline, I can’t believe how fast this year went by.
I love how you use your daughter’s birthday as inspiration to tackle all your remaining to-do’s for the year! I think I will try to have a similar attitude of wrapping things up 🙂
Let’s do this, Flossie!
Happy birthday to your daughter! October is a productive month for me, too. Last push before the new year. 😀
We can do it, Christa!
Happy Birthday to your wonderful daughter! October has been good so far and I’m looking forward to doing more travels this month as well.
Thank you, Jasmine, and enjoy each travel experience to the fullest.
Happy Blessed Day to your daughter. October is a critical month for planning for the next year. Procrastination does settle if we are not aware. As you mentioned, one small task at a time is the cure. Happy October.
Happy October to you, Nichelle!
I love this post. super upbeat and full of positive vibes. Happy birthday to your daughter by the way xx
Thank you, Melanie!
May your daughter have the most amazing birthday. She is so lovely.
Thank you, Elizabeth!
I loved the way you started the article. Kids are so precious in our life. Very positive and inspiring post. October is busy here in India too as it’s our festival month. All the festivals are celebrated in this month in India.
Enjoy the festivals, Kuntala, wish you could share with me.
October is one of my favorite months BECAUSE of the changing weather! I love that it cools down because it means that we’re getting closer to the holidays, my favorite time of year.
There is something charming about this month and knowing the holidays are closed make it even more special, Adreanne!
First of all, Happy Birthday buddy.
Secondly, You are already inspiring people like us.
Keep it up.
Thank you, Samar!
This is a very beautiful post! You are compassionate and you are grateful to God and the universe for the life that you have today. That is an amazing outlook – and trust me, with that attitude you will achieve all your goals! All the best 🙂
Thank you, Sushmita, wishing you a blessed month!
Let us always be productive, everyday! thank you for your insipiring post. Happiest Birthday to your daughter Mrs. MarjieMarie!
Thank you so much!
Yes absolutely, giving each goal a timeline to achieve it, helps to keep us on track and motivated, the end of the year approaching is a great motivator to get over that finish line.

This is so true, Lush!
I love your post! Sometimes our procrastination leads us to disappointments. A sure way to not reach that point is to start tackling that task list!
I agree!
Happy birthday to her! October has been tough for us here but we’re staying positive that things will be better soon!
Thank you, Ruth, you can overcome everything with a positive attitude.
I love the fall pictures! The year is quickly coming to an end, I also have lots I want to get done!
Wishing you the best!
Thanks for reminding, it’s October already and most of us forgotten already our to do list for the year. I’m proud to share that I already accomplished most of it.
This is awesome, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the inspiration! I tend to get less productive in the fall and winter because of the long, dark hours. It’s hard to wake up early when it’s still dark out! But I’m trying to get myself into a productive routine to combat that!
It’s hard, but remember to go back to the why you start at first.
Thanks for the inspiration! Love the pics and ideas here!
Thank you!
