Happy Tuesday, friends! My arm is SORE from getting my flu shot yesterday! Other than that, it’s a fairly quiet day around here: working, eating yummy food, going to yoga class tonight. What are you up to today?
Now it’s time for this week’s year of Wooden challenge… and a new month means a new focus!
- January: Drink deeply from good books
- February: Make friendship a fine art
- March: Help others
- April: Build a shelter against a rainy day {financially}
- May: Be true to yourself
- June: Give thanks for your blessings every day
- July: Love
- August: Balance
- September: Drink deeply from good poetry
- October: Make friendship a fine art {new friends}
- November: Pray for guidance.
But before we move on to November, let’s wrap up our October challenge: Make friendship a fine art, focusing on new friendships.
Last week’s challenge was to nurture and celebrate one of the new friendships you created this past month. I reached out to Allyson and made plans to get together again next week after I teach in Fremont. And I also made a new friend, Stephanie, at the Asante Africa dinner on Sunday night, so I’m hoping to get together with her sometime in the near future!
Now, moving on to the month of November! Our challenge for this month comes from Coach Wooden’s 7-Point Creed: “Pray for guidance.”
This week’s challenge is to think of an issue in your life that causes you worry or stress. Each night this week, pray on this issue. Ask God or the universe or whatever you believe for guidance. When you wake up in the morning, journal about your feelings.
Question for the day:
- What friendships did you nurture in the month of October?
- Do you believe in the power of prayer?
