Let’s talk GRATITUDE, just in time for the holiday season! During this month’s installment of The Lovely Hour, we’ll have some ice breakers, fun exercises, and thought starters to get all the way into gratitude, beyond lists and gratitude journals (which are great by the way), and let it land a little deeper. We’ll exchange stories and laughter in an informal, light-hearted, safe atmosphere. Plus, we’ll reflect on a tiny but mighty mission designed to inspire you (see below, should you choose to accept it 😊)! As a reminder, these virtual meetups are super casual. Snacks and loungewear welcome and encouraged.

Your Tiny but Mighty Mission (~10 minutes):

Before we meet, choose one song that celebrates life's simple gifts. Suggestions: "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong, "Count Your Blessings" by Bing Crosby, or "Thank You For Being a Friend" by Andrew Gold (and the Golden Girls Theme Song) — or pick your own!

But don't just listen—create a small moment around it in whatever way feels good to you! Light a candle, sip your favorite drink, find a cozy spot, close your eyes, or simply smile. Any images, emotions, or memories come up? Does anything surprise or inspire you? Does this song remind you to appreciate anything in your life right now? Take a minute or two to reflect. That’s it! Super simple! Happy listening!

Bonus invitation: If you feel moved, share one line from the song that hit you and why.

Like Brunch Buzz but sweeter! Bring your favorite dessert (if desired) and let’s get to know each other. We’ll have a theme and teeny-tiny challenge designed to inspire and to open up space to share a bit of ourselves (don’t worry…it’s just a bit). We’ll exchange thoughts, stories, and laughter in an informal, light-hearted, safe atmosphere.

August’s Theme: TBD

Your Tiny but Mighty Mission: TBD

Soul nourishing, paradigm shifting, change making experiences needn’t take a long time or come hard. In these meetings, we read a book chapter, a poem or two, a short story, the lyrics of a song, a blog post, a magazine article, a personal essay, or maybe a novella if we get really daring. The only criteria is that the work be short, beautiful, and deeply nourishing.

Bring your planner or journal and maybe some snacks and let’s take a breath and check in. If you like to plan, you’ll dig this recurring session. We will share our progress and plans, round robin style, spending the last part of our call grounding any insights and moving that energy into the week ahead with commitments, priorities, and desired shifts in ways of being.

Bring your favorite fare and brunch beverage and let’s get to know each other. How are you doing, I mean really doing? What’s going well and what wins can we help you celebrate? What challenges are you facing and, if invited to, how can we support you? We will share our thoughts and some laughs in an informal, light-hearted, safe atmosphere.

Make space for your creative practice with this monthly co-working, or better yet, co-playing session! Bring your favorite beverage along the tools you’ll need for your creative jam, whatever it may be, and let’s relax and create together. Everyone welcome! No pressure…we’re just having fun.

Expertise isn’t just about credentials. It’s also about lived experience! Whether you’re a professional or an autodidact, every life contains wisdom that can be shared and we want to hear it! In this session, we create space for personal stories and remove hierarchy to learn in community. Open to experts and learners alike!
