As we turn the calendar into November we enter a season many connect with Thanksgiving and Gratitude. For years now, I have engaged in a gratitude practice throughout all of November.
How do I engage in gratitude practices?
I take photos of things I am grateful for.
I share poems that bring me joy and hope.
I share scripture that inspires me.
This week I share my origin story of gratitude practice and how it connects to my appreciation of and writing of poetry.
Would you like to join me in this month of gratitude practice?
