December is called the month of Giving -- but have you noticed that it is also a month that can become overwhelming and stressful -- especially these past few years! We continue to make the difficult decisions related to affirming our health, traveling/visiting, and handling Zoom fatigue to our year-end wrap-up efforts, holiday activities, gift lists (Who to give to? How much to spend? How to avoid hurt feelings?), cooking and spending more than usual, decorating, and tackling over-crowded malls or technology-burdened websites to do our shopping! Whatever way you choose to celebrate the holiday season, it usually involves an over-abundance of additional activities that trigger stress and frustration. The perfect time to add a monthly Challenge, right? Right!
That’s exactly why we created our special annual challenge for the month of December, designed to refocus your thinking and ground you in the power of a Giving Consciousness coupled with Mindfulness. We are delighted to share our annual “Give the Gift of …” 31-day Challenge, which can center you and transform the way you experience this holiday season!

How to Take the Challenge
During your morning meditation, reflect on the focus area for the day, clarifying what it means for you.
Using your own definition(s) for the focus area, find as many ways as possible to give it during the day. Your goal is to find at least one opportunity to give, connected with the focus area of the day, for every waking hour! Be as creative as you want!
Keep a journal, where every day you record the gifts you gave and your experiences/emotions. (We've even provided a special worksheet with your downloaded package, that includes a place to capture your daily experience, plus reflection questions for each week!)
- Reflect on your journal entries using these reflection questions:
- How many different ways did you find to give?
- What was the most unique? The most fun? The most challenging?
- What was the most unique? The most fun? The most challenging?
- What spiritually enriching lessons can you take away from this activity that will stay with you as you move forward?
We invite you to leave comment below to share any experiences you are having as you work through this powerful challenge!
Never forget this powerful Truth:
Revs. Drs. Bil & Cher
The greatest and most powerful gift you can ever give is the gift of yourself!
