As we wrap up another full year, what’s NOW for you?
Take a moment a reflect on what this year has held and what you’re proud to have experienced and completed – or simply started – before forging ahead to the next thing.
While being future-focused serves a purpose, it also takes us away from being present and reflecting on our lives now. This month, join us as we practice the value of reflection.
As we welcome a new month and get closer to the end of another year, let’s take a moment to reflect on what is working – and even wonderful – in our lives!
This month, we’ll be refocusing on the core value of gratitude and how being thankful can improve how we live and lead.

Instead of mourning what has been lost or feeling weighed down by what hasn’t happened yet, this month we invite you to pause and ponder what moments you can honor and celebrate now. Together, let’s reclaim a sense of purpose in the middle of the uncertainty as we stand firm against common “Celebration Saboteurs” that try and steal our joy!
