Wake Me Up When September Ends

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

I woke up today to a brisk morning and realized it's almost SEPTEMBER?!

Bye, where did summer go?

Though I'm not looking forward to a long winter, the colder months are definitely when I reflect more. Last winter, I had damn near a whole reinvention of self.

One could say I locked in.

It's not too late

Q4 can really seem like a blur. Fall comes, the holidays follow, and boom - it's 2026.

But last year, instead of falling into the mindset that the year is basically over, I decided it was NOT too late.

I really did lock in, especially when the new year came.

How did I lock in, you ask?

Started executing ideas instead of just collecting them
Shifted my focus to email marketing and reinvented myself and my services
Stopped making excuses and just tried things (my life's an experiment at this point)

And if you're looking to start or continue a business - Q4 is a HUGE buying season! There is never a better time to start selling something than when people around the world are ready to buy for the holidays.

Anyway the cold air this morning felt like a threat and this is me rewriting that narrative.

Lock in but also don't stress. That's my motto.

Til next time,

The human heart 🤍

This is a quote from Soviet dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn from his famous book, "The Gulag Archipelago." It's one I reflect on often, and it sits especially heavy on my heart after last week. "Gradually, it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either—but right through every human heart—and through all human hearts." That's the newsletter for today. 🤍, Dom 1230 22nd Ave Kenosha, WI...

How it's done done done 🎶

A few weeks ago, I was at my cousin's house and he asked, "Have you seen Kpop Demon Hunters?" And I was like.... no? He goes, "I'm putting it on." Loved it, 10/10, no notes. I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't that. I went home and watched it again a few days later. (Am I hooked?) I won't spoil it, but it has a lot of philosophical story lines. Good & evil, feeling uncomfortable about our true selves, stepping into your power...it got deep! This movie became an international...

I made pasta for you

I think I used 3 different types of tomatoes yesterday: tomatoes from the garden, campari tomatoes, and heirloom. Hey, they're in season! And hey, I'm Italian-American. Tomatoes come in many forms in this household. This, a piece of bread, and a Diet Coke? It's over. Sorry for making you hungry. If you need a snack before you continue reading, I get it. (I'll wait for you). Now answer me this: if you had an heirloom tomato in your hand, would you eat it within a day or so or eat it in a year?...
