Your Zen minute: Every one of us has this superpower. Calm helps us maintain clarity and focus when things get crazy. When it gets nuts, move your focus to your breath and slow it down. Notice how your body relaxes a bit, the chatter in your mind slows, and you are better able to focus clearly on what is occurring. Your breath is a great partner — unleash that superpower!
How did your first week of the Gratitude Challenge go? Any “aha!” moments? Keep it going! Here are your prompts:
- Day 7: What is a trip you loved? Who was with you, or did you go alone? What made it special?
- Day 8: Who is a role model who inspired you?
- Day 9: What is a dessert you can’t get enough of? (Confession: It’s Ben & Jerry’s Chubby Hubby for me!)
- Day 10: When was a time you were given a helping hand? Were you able to pay that forward and help someone else?
- Day 11: What is a book you are grateful for?
- Day 12: What is a lesson you are grateful for?

I absolutely love this gratitude challenge. It centers me and makes me realize all of the wonderful things, people, experiences, etc. that I have had in my life. It is so good I have shared it with others. Truly a wonderful and thought provoking experience. Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of it.
