September’s “Other New Year” Spread | Fall Intentions & Fresh Starts

There’s something about September that feels like another kind of new year. Maybe it’s the cooler mornings, maybe it’s the back-to-school vibe—but it always feels like a natural moment to reset. In this bonus video, I’m sharing a deeper look into my September bullet journal and the intentional themes I’m bringing into this new season.

Watch the video:

This one’s all about fall intentions, journaling personality, and creating space for a slower, more artful pace in life.

What’s Inside the Page Reveal Video:

“Other New Year” Spread:

A dedicated layout in my September journal to reflect on the themes I want to carry forward this season—spiritual practice, artistry, and naturalism.

Layout Details & Techniques:

I walk through how I created the spread using simple tools like gold sticker frames and minimal text to keep the page feeling clean but expressive.

Handwriting Pep Talk:

Messy handwriting? Doesn’t matter. I share why your natural handwriting brings unique charm to your journal—and why it shouldn’t stop you from creating.

Why This Spread Matters:

This isn’t just a pretty page. It’s a way to reset with intention and use your journal as a container for new energy and direction as the season shifts.

If September feels like a new beginning for you too, take a moment to reflect and set your own fall intentions. Your journal can be a powerful place to reconnect with what matters most—no rules, no pressure, just space to grow.

Cheers! ~Steph
