Is there any magic stronger than helping others? I think not. Veterans Day in the United States is a day when we honor those who have served and protected our country. Celebrate this with a ritual of honoring and awareness.

You will need one or two of your favorite tools (shovel, scissors, rolling pin, etc.).

Start in the morning at sunrise. Hold your tools, facing east, and repeat the following:

To those who have served this country, I honor you. To those who serve others every day, even in the simplest of roles, I honor you.

Now take your tools and get to work, making someone’s life a little better.
