Making moments for gratitude

With the holiday season upon us, it’s easy to get caught up in a frenzy of making plans and catching the best sales. But this also can be a good time to take a moment to reflect on what you’re most grateful for as the year comes to a close. November is National Gratitude Month, and we recently discussed Melanin Queen Card #32 Count Your Blessings on Instagram. This self-care activity is about making a gratitude jar to reflect on what you are most grateful for.

As humans, it’s natural to want and wish for more, but the most smallest things we have that may seem like nothing – someone would love to have. Having gratitude helps ground us and reflect on things that truly matter in our life. 

These are just some of things we are most grateful for:

  • Support of our Unleash Your Melanin Magic Cards
  • Long-lasting, genuine friendships
  • Having a bed to sleep in
  • Food to eat daily
  • Opportunity to travel and discover new places
  • Moments of sisterhood
  • To have supportive and loving family and friends
  • Moments of peace and quiet 
  • Having a stable and safe place to call home 
  • Being able to celebrate the holidays with loved ones 
  • Wake up in good health
  • Experience another fall season 

What are you most grateful for? If you haven’t already done so, make a gratitude jar. This can be fun and memorable activity to do with loved ones. Check out Pinterest for inspiration. 


Have a wonderful holiday season!
