Spoonful of Gratitude challenge!
This year has been rough for a lot of people, and so, I hope you will join me in the "Spoonful of Gratitude" challenge. Starting November 16 and ending November 22 (the day before Thanksgiving), there will be specific instructions of what to post online in order to intentionally make you focus on the positives!

Fireworks aren't always fun
they are serious triggers for neurodiverse people, those with PTSD (veterans and those who have experienced violence), those with breathing difficulties, people who suffer from headaches, and those who are generally sensitive to loud noises.
