"Savor Life on Earth"
Paying attention to things you love can uplift and nourish your spirit. As the days get shorter, savoring whatever brings you connection, warmth, and inspiration can deepen the meaning of your November. Consider the questions in this challenge as you go about daily life this month. Notice how savoring the world around you creates connection, and helps you focus on mindfulness and journaling that generates gratitude.
