A Year Of Gratitude Challenge

Summary

Soul Magazine is hosting a "Year of Gratitude Challenge" for 2024, inviting participants to find something to be grateful for every day and share their experiences through writing.

Abstract

Soul Magazine's "Year of Gratitude Challenge" for 2024 is an initiative inspired by a comment from Pamela Landolt Green, encouraging individuals to practice daily gratitude and document their journey. Participants are encouraged to maintain a Gratitude Journal and contribute weekly articles reflecting on their gratitude practice, including personal insights and journal entries. The challenge emphasizes personal writing, discourages AI-generated content, and provides submission guidelines to ensure consistency and proper crediting of images and content. Writers are also asked to link back to the challenge announcement to foster a community of gratitude. Soul Magazine expresses appreciation for their writers and invites new contributors to join through their submission guidelines.

This challenge was brought to Soul Magazine by Pamela Landolt Green in a comment she wrote to me from our November Gratitude Challenge. Thank you, Pamela, from all of us at Soul Magazine. We think this challenge is a great idea. You may access all of the November Gratitude Challenge submissions from the link below.

Let’s get down to the nitty gritty. Keep a Gratitude Journal however you wish, and on a weekly basis, write an article sharing your observations and experiences. You can answer questions like — How is practicing Gratitude changing my life? What areas of my life have improved by practicing gratitude? Share pieces of your actual journal entries with us. If you are inspired to draw or generate some AI artwork, share that as well.
