Fill your cup
Good morning, and welcome back to the table.
October has a way of filling every minute, doesn’t it?
Between the schedules and everything else on your plate, it’s easy to put yourself last. (And it only gets worse going into the holidays.)
But you deserve a little fun, a little rest, and a little time to recharge, too.
Today, we’re mixing in some Halloween laughs with simple ways to take care of yourself. Because you don’t have to run on empty to make life wonderful for everyone else.
Now, pull up a chair. And let’s gather.
Costumes, monsters, spells, slimy things… it’s fast, it’s silly, and it works for literally every age at the table.
That’s probably why the game versions have been played by over 30,000 readers.
Play right from your phone or grab the printable cards in the shop.

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK
Daily self-care
October is busy. But let’s not reach November feeling like we’ve given every ounce of ourselves away.
This week, make a little room for the things that help you feel like you.
Start with these four essentials:
- Movement: Walk, stretch, or work out for 30 minutes.
- Sleep: Create a calming bedtime routine that helps you get the rest you need.
- Nutrition: Prep a few healthy meals or snacks so you’re fueled for the day.
- Connection: Make time for journaling, prayer, nature, or the people who fill you up.
Bonus challenge: Remove one thing that’s stealing your joy. Maybe it’s an unnecessary commitment, an energy-draining habit, or something you need to say no to.
You don’t have to do it all. You just have to make room for what matters.
AFFIRMATION OF THE WEEK

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
What fills your cup? And what’s been draining it lately?
Maybe you feel most like yourself after a walk, a good book, a quiet cup of coffee, or a conversation with a friend.
And maybe there’s something that’s been taking more from you than it gives back.
Take a minute to think about both.
