Nourishing November
By Dreaming Ace
By the power invested in me, myself, and I
I am declaring it is officially Nourishing November
A time to nourish ourselves physically and mentally
Before we hit the busy holiday season and end of year
I am using this as a time to pamper myself inside and out
Pamper by using up what I already have in my apartment
Using up lotions and candles and incenses and teas
Using up pantry goods, craft supplies and sharing items
That no longer are serving me with others so they can enjoy
Plus taking the time to rest and recharge, sleeping in etc
So by the power invested in me, myself, and I
I am declaring it Nourishing November

- Nourishing November helps refill our energy stores before the busy holiday season.
- I find that the holidays are often so busy it is challenging to truly enjoy them. Resting during November should help.
- Nourishing November helps our physical and mental health.
- Nourishing November helps us get more organized for the new year.
- The fewer items that are in a category, the easier it is to organize.
- Nourishing November helps us find holiday gifts.
- I am expecting to find gifts for others as I use up other items.
- Nourishing November can help other people's holidays.
- As was shared online, parents look in resale shops for toys for their kids, but typically resale shops don't have any until after the holidays.
- While the original post was about kids toys, it is true for most holiday items. For example, donating your extra clothing now means that someone can get themselves a gift warm clothing.

- Doing a creative project with craft supplies you already have
