Just one moment. One gesture. One glow.
Make Life Special this October.

I recently commented that I felt I had gone to sleep in summer and woken up in winter. The air has changed and the mornings are cooler. With that shift, wonderful memories flood back—of autumn walks, candlelit evenings, and the comforting rhythm of seasonal dishes. I’m already planning what to cook.

October has a quiet magic. It doesn’t shout (unlike the high winds outside are at the moment as I write this), it whispers. It invites us to pause.

This month’s Make Life Special challenge is beautifully simple. It’s not about doing more. It’s about choosing one quiet moment that brings warmth.

Your challenge:

Choose just one of the following:

  • Take a walk during golden hour.
    Let the light guide you. Notice how it softens the world. Let it soften you, too.
  • Light a candle at dinner.
    No phones. No fuss. Just a flicker of warmth and a moment to be present.
  • Start a quiet ritual.
    A book before bed. A cup of tea in silence. Watching the leaves fall from your window. Whatever brings you peace.

That’s it.
Just one moment. One gesture. One glow.

You don’t need to share it. But if you do, we’d love to hear.
Tag your moment with #MakeLifeSpecial or simply hold it close.

In a world that moves fast, October reminds us to slow down.
To find the glow; And to let it linger.
