This week’s Wordcore word is GLIMMER.
A glimmer is a small moment in your day that brings joy, peace, comfort, or gratitude.
It feels like such a fitting word for our first theme in The Way of Gratitude: Noticing What Is Already Here.

A glimmer might be:
- the light through the window
- your first sip of coffee
- a song you needed
- a calm breath
- a moment of stillness
