For twelve days (or any part thereof) beginning on the Solstice on December 21 through Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and ending on New Year’s Day, we invite you to visit this page, scroll down for the daily prompt, and hold one of the guiding values of Grateful Living in your heart and mind as you light a virtual candle. The practice can be as simple as taking a few slow, deep breaths and silently lighting your candle with each day’s value as a meditation, prayer, or dedication. Or it can be a deeper inquiry into what this value means in your daily life.

If you write the value of the day (belonging, oneness, compassion, etc) in your candle message, those of us participating can “search” that word on the candle page to feel ourselves part of a global community standing together in the power of our shared commitments and light.
