Gratitude Just Hit!
Hey there! Happy November to you and your family.
I must say, November hits and suddenly being grateful and sharing gratitude comes easier than ever, or at least easier than the rest of the year—isn't that right? But why is that so?
November is naturally programmed with a very mindful energy because of the US holiday Thanksgiving—and Friendsgiving (which I found out about recently.) Really! November arrives and all the American people can think about is family, food, cooking, getting together, reuniting, and gratitude for everyone and everything. It's an automation that happens right on the 1st of the month.
Then, dragging on through all of November there are activities, events, fundraisers, parties, cards, and decorations all geared towards gratitude and thankfulness—so much so that even if you would want to jump off the grateful-wave, there is no escaping. But why would you want that anyways?
November is by far the easiest of month to be in alignment with who you really are, which is gratitude, thankfulness, and grace.
I say, latch onto the magic of November by really taking a mindful part in everything and by being conscious about gratitude, thankfulness, and grace because just living it is only the beginning of what this month could be for you and everyone—the most grateful and thankful time of your life.
Enjoy: To shake things up a little I have collected some brilliant holidays that are also in November and added my grateful notes to give you some little oohs and ahhs here and there.
November 1: National Author's Day & National Family Literacy Day
As an author this is certainly a huge reason to celebrate for myself, but also all my super fans that love my books. Plus, with my first published children's book Ella's Inner Genie, it is absolutely necessary to shout out to all parents that are reading my book to their kids. Cheers to you all!
November 2: National Advent Calendar Day
Do you have yours yet? There are chocolate, cheese, wine, toys, and other yummy calendars. Check them out!
November 3: Give Someone a Dollar Day
Who is receiving your dollar(s) today?
November 4: Use Your Common Sense Day
Now that is a tricky one since we are all different. I know for a fact that my common sense is not always the same as yours. So be careful today!
November 5: National Love Your Red Hair Day
I am a real truthful redhead, so let's celebrate! Where are my super fan redheads in this community? Email me!
November 6: Daylight Saving Day
No words needed, just a good ol' yawn.
November 7: National Hug a Bear Day
Everyone has a bear at home; a teddy bear, a pet bear, a bear-like pet, or a human bear. Hug them!
November 8: National Cappuccino Day & World Pianist Day
I love cappuccinos and make myself one at home all the time - so good - all while listening to my pianist playing live at my home. Just kidding, she is not my pianist; she is my editor in chief, making sure my books are a flow to read. Let's celebrate her!
Until soon, and with the utmost gratitude…
Happiest,
Jacqueline
