This month is a particular special and sometimes hard month for me. 13 year ago I had a rock climbing accident that could have been fatal, but miraculously I survived without any side effects today. So every month when November comes around, I can't help but remember that day and find myself extremely grateful. 

Every November, I try to really take the time to be grateful. It's not always easy, but having it as holiday makes it so much easier to focus for one whole month and keep it going after. We've been doing monthly family values for the past few months and this month the obvious value is Gratitude. I've made some leaves for my kids and they colored a tree for the leaves. This is probably my favorite tradition that is simple, easy and perfect for kids and adults. It teaches both of us about being grateful for the things around us and slow down. 

So please download the leaves for free and enjoy them with your own family!
