Thanksgiving Reflections: Gratitude in 2016
As I sit here on a chilly November night, my heart is filled with so much gratitude for how far I’ve come over the past year. The list of what I am thankful for could go on for pages and pages, possibly even hours! I wanted to post about Thanksgiving and gratitude this week, because it is …
The Art of Rekindling Inspiration
