November is the perfect month to slow down and notice the people who make your life better. Each day, write down one thing you’re thankful for about someone special in your life. It could be your spouse, child, friend, neighbor, coworker, or anyone who has made a difference in your life. By the end of the month, you’ll have a beautiful collection of reasons why you’re grateful for that person, creating a meaningful gratitude gift you can give them during the holidays in December.
You could simply give them this completed page, or take your gratitude gift up a notch and turn it into something they can treasure for years to come. Add photos and memories and create a scrapbook or spiral-bound book. You could laminate the pages, place them in a beautiful picture frame, or create your own special keepsake. However you choose to share it, the most important part is letting someone know just how much they mean to you. What a wonderful gift to give someone this holiday season!

This reading log is designed to help you build a habit of lifelong learning. Each time you finish a book, record the title, author, the date you completed it, and give it a rating. As your list grows, you’ll have a wonderful record of the ideas, stories, and lessons that have shaped your life. Every book is an opportunity to learn something new. Challenge yourself to read at least ten minutes a day or at least one chapter a day. Little bits add up over time, which is an idea I learned from one of my favorite books, The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson. You might even choose a reading goal for the year and use this tracker to watch your progress one book at a time. There’s a second page with the list of my favorite books, and a spot at the bottom for you to add books you want to read. Be sure to write them down so you don’t forget!
One of the most powerful things you can do for yourself is identify your core values. Your values are the beliefs and principles that guide your decisions, shape your behavior, and influence the direction of your life. Think of them as your inner lighthouse, helping you navigate opportunities, relationships, and challenges. When you know your values, it’s easier to determine what fits and what doesn’t.

Here’s how to use your printable. Look at the list included in the printable and circle the words that stand out to you. Which values consistently drive your attention, choices, and actions?
As you narrow your list, challenge yourself to identify your top three core values. These are the values that have likely been woven throughout your life. Once you’ve identified them, learn them as well as you know your phone number. Let them become a filter for your decisions and a guide for how you spend your time, energy, and attention. Write your top 3 values in the lighthouse and use them to guide your life.
My three guiding values are: Love, Happiness & Making a Difference
One of the most powerful exercises I experienced came from a branding workshop by Michele O’Hara of Luminous Brands Consultancy where, instead of introducing ourselves with words, we were asked to draw a picture of ourselves at our happiest. Not our job title. Not our accomplishments. Just a picture of what joy looked like in our lives. It was such a beautiful reminder that happiness leaves clues. When you begin paying attention to the moments that make you feel most alive, peaceful, fulfilled, and connected, you start discovering more about your purpose, your calling, and the life you were created to live.

Use the space on the page of the printable to draw yourself at your happiest and reflect on what brings you genuine joy. What are you doing? Who are you with? How do you feel? And now my question for you is, if this drawing is you at your happiest, are you doing it? Are you living out that drawing? Sometimes the path forward begins by reconnecting with what lights you up inside.
