Give Thanks
Thanksgiving and gratitude … what’s that got to do with resiliency?
Everything!! Did you know that one way to build resiliency is to be grateful and express your thanks? Plus, practicing gratitude is really good for you AND can make you a happier more successful person.
First, thank you!!– my readers, friends, family, and those who have supported, followed and encouraged me throughout this crazy year as I’ve launched Soul Love: How A Dog Taught Me to Breathe Again and growing my business.
I am blessed beyond measure with support that surrounds me – my prayer warriors, spiritual guides, writing peers, launch team, friends, supporters, social media fans, coaching colleagues, and clients. Y’all really know how to keep me positive when life gets tough! I appreciate you!
I’m especially grateful for my amazing supportive and encouraging husband, my three sons, and two daughter-in-law’s. My new granddaughter and one on the way! Love you all!
I’m thankful I live in the United States of America - a country we are free to worship, speak, write and live with many freedoms’ others do not have. I’m grateful I for a home, food, water, and the resources I’ve been blessed with. I’m thankful my health has returned after an autoimmune flare-up and flu this fall. I’m thankful for my health providers both “regular” and alternative working together to provide me quality care. I am thankful I’m fortunate to do what I love for work and run a business with love that partners with those who life has knocked down who want to bounce back, build resiliency and live boldly. Thank you God/Divine/Universe!!
