So sit down with me, get your notebook, grab a pen, and let's create the life you've always dreamed of.

I'm your host, Ashley Legs, and welcome to the Sly Girl Sly Pat Cast.

Hey, girl, hey, welcome back to the Sly Girl Sly Pat Cast.

I hope you are doing absolutely amazing today and your week is off to a great start.

It is Podcast Monday Boo.

We made it, we're here, it is a new week.

Shout out to all of my teachers out there listening, all of you students that have gone back to school.

I am wishing you a beautiful and safe school year this year.

Sometimes teachers will email us and let us know that they listen to the podcast during class and sometimes they play the podcast for their students, which is the sweetest thing ever.

I don't know what we would do without our teachers.

My mom has been a school teacher my entire life, she still teaches and right now she's teaching seventh grade and y'all.

The story she tells me about what these kids are saying and doing in the classroom couldn't be me.

It could not be me.

So God bless all of you teachers out there sending big love to you and students and wishing you a wonderful school year.

Y'all time is flying.

Okay, I know summer isn't technically over but y'all it's over for me.

It was over at midnight on September 1st.

I am not a summer girl by any means.

I am a fall girl through and through.

Fall girls rise up.
