It's a new month with a new challenge and something is different this time.

Back in July, I began a project I called the Quarterly Challenge, that included new monthly challenges to encourage us to dig deeply and have accountability for our spiritual walk.

Those efforts have not had too much fruit and for now, I will bid this exploration "Farewell!" (Notice I have a seasonally decorated funeral wreath on display to commemorate this occasion.)

Not every idea or project will work and there are many reasons why they might not. I suspect the timing is wrong. But, if there is so sort of demand for this to resume because a number of you would benefit from it? I'm open to that.

For December there IS a Challenge. One last one, and you are invited to contribute in the comments with your personal reflection.

The Quarterly Theme is ENCOUNTER
For December this includes the topic: PAUSE

Keep in mind that for some of you, Advent Season is something you may lean into or desire to embrace more fully, and the topic of pause is something that pairs well with this.

But, it can take on a personal meaning or a unique meaning all its own. Maybe the meaning will make its own self know to you, and I await with eager anticipation to hear from you about what happens.

The Challenge this month, specifically, is to build in 2 or 3 times of extended, mindful pause, for a spiritually meaningful reflection and then share some of your experience.
