Soap of the Month-Giving Back

As we put away the holidays and look forward to the prospect of a new year, I’ve been thinking a lot about the kind of life I want to lead—one rooted in gratitude, simple joys, and being just a little better every day than I was the day before. Maybe it’s the quiet of winter, or maybe it’s the way the world softens under a layer of frost, but something about this season always nudges me to reflect more deeply.

One thing that keeps rising to the surface is a pull to give back in meaningful ways. Not just during the holidays when giving is on everyone’s mind, but all year long—month after month, moment after moment. I want generosity woven into the rhythm of my everyday life, just like kneading dough or pouring a new batch of soap.
