November 2025: Gratitude

Welcome to November!

This month's theme is "Gratitude". There won't be a formal newsletter this month because I ran out of time preparing for our Thanksgiving trip to Belize (see happy traveling boys).

For the rest of the month, I'd encourage you to spend each day noticing the little things around you that bring you joy - feeling grateful for these glimmers will bring you to the present moment and create an overall sense of well being.

Some example glimmers could be a squirrel nibbling on a berry, a curious pup, a funny joke, a tasty treat, birds chirping - each little thing adds up.

I'm grateful that you subscribe to my newsletter. Enjoy the rest of November - more to come next month!

I ended up cancelling the trip because it conflicted with my boys' winter vacation. Fast forward to the end of July 2026. I was looking at a Greece trip in May 2027. The very next day, I got an out...

FIG Bites September 2026: Sanguine Welcome to September! This month's theme is "Sanguine" (yeah, I had to look it up too - hahaha). Sanguine is one of those words you read in a book and maybe keep going or stop to look it up. The definition of Sanguine is: being cheerful, hopeful, or confident, especially in a bad or hard times. Sometimes it can be a challenge to feel cheerful when things aren't going well in life. So those times are a good opportunity to stop and be curious - what is going...

FIG Bites July 2026: Celebration Welcome to July! This month's theme is "Celebration". When I hear the word Celebration, my mind goes to Kool & the Gang and their banger song, "Celebrate Good Times, Come On!" America celebrated 250 years this month and everyday is a celebration of living an amazing life. Summer is in full swing and each day the sun rises early with the birdsong and sets late. I completed my pilgrimage from Sarria to Santiago, Spain last month and it was surreal to be on the...
