Congratulations! We are now at the end of the January Cure, and I hope you feel accomplished in all the amazing things you’ve done — whether you’ve followed along since day one or joined in on day 11. No matter how big or small the work you’ve finished this month, you should be proud of the progress you made. That’s why today is all about celebration.
Day 20: Enjoy your home.
Your final Cure assignment is simple: Enjoy your home, relish in all the hard work you’ve put into it, and don’t forget to treat yourself too (it’s our Friday tradition after all!). I hope you’ve enjoyed the January Cure as much as I have — feel free to keep on completing tasks from the program; see the tasks below! — and I look forward to seeing you at our next one.
