This holiday season, the Neptune corporate team's food donations to Feeding South Florida added up to 581 pounds, which translates to 484 meals – far exceeding even last year's donations.
At a time when so many are struggling, we are deeply grateful for everyone's generosity.

"In a world that demands constant productivity and tough exteriors, just admitting you're not okay is a rebellious act.
​You don't have to carry it all alone to prove your worth."

Pretty cool.

It’s almost time for the 15th Annual Gratitude Challenge. 💫 It begins on November 1, goes all month long, and everyone is welcome to join in!

Gratitude is one of the best ways to cope with difficult times, and it’s something we need now more than ever.

If you’re new to the Challenge, it’s a way to practice gratitude throughout November by sharing something you’re thankful for related to the daily prompts.

You can post on social media (and use the hashtag if you want others who’re participating see it, too) — or you can simply play along without posting!

Use the prompts as a guide to reflect on how you’re grateful for that aspect of life. You can use the prompts in order (as I’ll be doing), mix ‘em up, or make up your own.

More details about the Challenge and info about each prompt (that can help spark ideas if you feel stuck!) can be found here: It’s almost time for the 15th Annual Gratitude Challenge. 💫 It begins on November 1, goes all month long, and everyone is welcome to join in! More details can be found here: https://positivelypresent.com/2025/10/the-15th-annual-gratitude-challenge.html

As always, the Challenge is meant to inspire gratitude and promote thankfulness, so don’t feel pressured to post every day. Focusing on gratitude — not adding additional stress! — is the purpose, so go at your own pace, join in any time, make up your own prompts, and have fun!

Day of the Dead, or Dia de los Mu***os, is often misunderstood or is seen as macabre. The Mexican holiday, on Nov. 1-2 every year, is devoted to celebrating the loved ones no longer with us, a reminder that they live on in our hearts. https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/celebrations/article/day-of-the-dead

After losing her father, Carla Fernandez turned grief into purpose — founding The Dinner Party, a community for young adults healing together. Her new book, "Renegade Grief", redefines mourning as a creative, healing act. "Grief isn't a problem to solve," she writes. "It's an invitation to live awake." Link in the comments.
