Present Story Kit™ + January 2024 Stories By The Month

Today's the 10th of the month and that means a new Story Kit, Story Stamp, and Stories By The Month kit.

This month we are focusing on stories related to the theme of Present.

As we wrap up another trip around the sun, focusing on the dual meanings of the word present feels like a wonderful storytelling invitation. This time of year is often full of presents - the gifts we give and receive AND there's so much to be gained from grounding ourselves in the present moment. This month we are telling stories of gifts - things, moments, memories - and what it means for each one of us to be living in the present moment in our own season of life.

Initial story ideas for this theme include:

• What is the best present you've ever received and why?

• How are you practicing being present in your life right now? What does that mean for you?

• Use "this moment" as a repeated phrase to jumpstart journaling about a specific event.
