What? Another quick bonus episode?
Yep!
The timing just works that way sometimes. Today is November 1st, and we are kicking off a 30 Day Gratitude Challenge inside our Patreon community! You are invited to join us, and I hope you will. 
Just today, I uploaded a Gratitude List as well as 30 days of Gratitude Prompts (some journaling prompts, some activities to do). Every day inside the community, we'll have a post with a Gratitude Prompt of the day.
We can encourage and cheer each other on! And on our private podcast (the Faith Fiver Club) I'll also share thanksgiving encouragement throughout the month. 
Join me today inside our Patreon community!
