Happy Holidays!
Take a moment to bask in all you’ve accomplished these last 29 days.
Good morning.
Lead with gratitude

Proceed from there.– Lin-Manuel Miranda
Randomly pick a date on your calendar in either December or January. You will use this date to re-read your November Nano writings. This gives it time to rest and you will see it in a new light.
In this time of holiday joy and generosity, please do what you can to support those organizations who help throughout the year.
Where I Give My Support (list not inclusive)
Scroll down to the Stands links for a collection of worthy charities, all of whom do good works.
Add your own recommendations in the comments with how to reach them with donations and what their organization does.
On this Giving Tuesday, consider donating to Nanowrimo:

Donate to Nanowrimo
I would also ask to consider a donation to the Committee to Protect Journalists. They support freedom of the press and shine light where journalists are arrested, tortured, and murdered. It has been eight weeks since The Washington Post’s Jamal Kashoggi was lured to a Saudi Arabian consulate in Turkey and murdered for his writing about the Saudi government and royal family.
STOP!
Have some hot chocolate or chai masala.
Deep breath in. Deep breath out.
Breathe in the scent of the hot whatever you’ve chosen.
Now take a sip.
Relax for five minutes.
