Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Month in Spring! Can you believe it? We're staring down the month of October! That's insane! OCTOBER! In my head, I'm still wondering what I'm going to do for the summer, and here we are looking at Fall already!
I don't love the darker, colder months of the year here in the Northern Hemisphere, but there are some consolation prizes. First: The sessions from SpringOne are accessible online! Second: There's so much crazy, wonderful, new stuff by the day that I can scarcely keep up! This last month was nutty but fun. I spent the last few weeks in the studio filming a new Spring video for y'all. Stay tuned to my Twitter for more on that. I'm also super excited about this last month's insane roundup of content. We've got a lot to get to, so let's go!
