Greetings All,

HAPPY NOVEMBER!!! The start of the month is always my favorite time of the month. It is a little bit like a reset. Letting go of all the things that happened in the last month and making a decision to move on and try to make things better in some small Way in the New month. Of course, there are some things that don’t just go away with a New month but there are New Ways that we can deal with them. This month Is New Ways November, and I am excited for many of the ideas that this calendar brings. We get so caught up in routine, and structure, and scheduling that we often times will miss out on things that could ignite joy in our lives if we just simply try something New. Life can be boring, ordinary, and mundane in some ways and there are some things that we just have to do and may not be able to deviate from but working to do those things in a New and different Way is the challenge of this month’s calendar. Have to load the dishwasher? Time yourself and work to beat your best record and treat yourself if you meet your goal. Gotta tackle the laundry? See how many baskets you can make with those socks or t-shirts or load and unload to your favorite music, so it doesn’t feel like a chore. Driving the kids to practice or dance? Pull up some road trip questions that help the family get to know one another better (my family and I do this all the time even if it’s a short 30-minute trip. You don’t have to be going cross country. There are so many New and creative Ways that you can modify your daily activities to make them feel fresh, New, and fun. Check out some of this month’s ideas and see how you can make it a New Way November. Have a great month.

Warmest Regards,
