TODAY -- You’ve spent a month practicing gentler ways to carry what can’t be undone—and that practice is portable.

Journal prompt: “My takeaway from October—the thing I’ll actually use—is…”

Write one flicker sentence you believe today: “I can start small and still be real.” Build a 24-hour rebuild weave on a note you’ll see tomorrow: one light/witnessing anchor, one 7–10 minute brick, one value-aligned step. Then step into November by adding a calendar block titled “Rough Day Plan” and pasting your flicker-brick-step and threshold ritual into the description.

Choose-your-energy menu:

• Hollow (low): Copy your October sentence onto a sticky or lock screen.
• Healing (medium): Set the 24-hour weave for tomorrow (flicker, brick, step).
• Becoming (higher): Add the “Rough Day Plan” block weekly through November.

To end today -- to end the month:
This work was never about being fixed. It’s about being held—by small, repeatable moves that meet you where you actually live. On the hard days ahead, you don’t have to invent courage; you can borrow it from your own practice: speak their name, steady your body, take one step that includes you. That is how the season gets survivable—one honest inch at a time.

Community & App (don’t miss this):
The Leftover Pieces app keeps your support close—calendar, resources, meetups, and one-tap entry to the Lighthouse Community. Anyone can download it to follow along; if you’re a community member or former client, the app makes access effortless. Inside: multiple support groups, a monthly Full Moon ritual, guest LIVE events, an ever-growing resource library, chats, and more. The first month of community is always on me—because I believe that deeply in what it’s becoming. Come in when you’re ready; everything’s easier in the app.

Exhale. Keep what serves you; leave the rest. I’ll be here again tomorrow. 💜
