For next week finish Among Flowers and be prepared with the books for November's reading which will run concurrent Sense of Wonder and The Serviceberry. Below is the outdoor activity to connect with the season and the selected book's underlying themes. November Outdoor Challenge: Attention Is Love Inspired by The Sense of Wonder by Rachel Carson and The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer. What if gratitude begins with simply paying attention? This month, we're inviting you to spend 10–20 minutes outdoors. Take a walk, sit on your porch, visit a favorite park, or simply step outside and slow down. 🌿 Your challenge: - Notice something beautiful. - Notice something you might normally overlook. - Think of one thing in the natural world you're grateful for. - Consider one small way you can give something back. - You don't need to identify anything, keep a nature journal, or have any special knowledge. Just be present and curious. As Robin Wall Kimmerer reminds us, gratitude and reciprocity go hand in hand. And perhaps, as we learn to pay closer attention, we begin to realize that attention is love. 💚 Share with us below: - I noticed… - I'm grateful for… - I can give back by… No perfect answers required. Just a little time outside, a willingness to notice, and an opportunity to reconnect with the world around us. What might change if we treated our attention as an act of love?
