Welcome to our Holiday Writing Circle!
As we approach the holiday season, I'm thrilled to embark on a reflective journey with all of you. This writing circle is a space for us to come together, share, and explore the beauty of the life we are living during this special time of year.

Each week, I'll provide you with a carefully crafted journaling prompt designed to guide your reflections. Together, we'll celebrate the moments, people, and experiences that fill our hearts with gratitude, and we'll capture these precious thoughts and feelings in our writing.

Week 1 (November 19-25)
Theme: Embracing Gratitude
O sacred season of Autumn, be my teacher, for I
The self you bring to a gathering is different with each passing year. A part of the ripening process of wisdom, humility, acceptance, and contentment. You have a secret that some gathered with you might sense. You have come home to your self. One who gives thanks for the gift of being human.
Writing Prompt
Reflect on the changing seasons of your life and the wisdom they have brought. Imagine yourself as a student of autumn, seeking to learn the virtue of contentment. Write a letter or journal entry addressed to the season of autumn, expressing your desire to embrace contentment and find joy in the abundance of simple things in life. Share your reflections on how you have evolved and grown wiser with each passing year, and how this wisdom has enriched your sense of self and gratitude. Explore the secret or knowing glint that resides within you, and give thanks for the gift of being human. Wisdom often comes through struggle. Be open to its lessons.
