A Mindful Pause 12/7/25: What's Your End of Year Ritual?:
We have entered the last month of the year. Will you take a pause before you begin again? This week's pause is an invitation to set aside time to do just that—to not rush the year's end, to not hurry toward a break or a holiday or the shopping, but to savor the winding down of a year and all that has transpired, so you can feel its fullness—so that you might be able to say “wow” before you move on. - https://mailchi.mp/8b669c80858b/mindful-pause-week-of-12-7-25

It can be so easy to get caught up in the busyness of preparing, or traveling, or managing the dynamics of a family or group, and forget to pause and take in what Thanks-Giving is about. I made this 6 minute Meditation of Thanks last year and offer it again as a way to start your day with warm intention. It can be nice to do on Thanksgiving morning, before you have company, before sleep, or really anytime. Listen to it more than once if helpful. Enjoy and share it as you wish. You can listen to it on my website, or on the Insight Timer. See links in bio.
