"Have you ever found yourself facing a tough circumstance and, no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to shake feelings of ingratitude? That’s exactly what was happening to me until I had a chance encounter with a homeless woman who motivated me to reflect on what it truly meant to be thankful. That’s when this book was born. For one year, 365 ¼ days, I interviewed a variety of women about their life experiences and the role that being thankful played in their lives. The women I met and the stories they shared taught me that thankfulness is one of the most important tools in building and maintaining a fulfilling life. I hope you’re inspired by the gift of their stories as much as I was and that each one will find its way to those who may feel stuck and need a gentle nudge to move forward from a challenging circumstance. These stories will help those who may need to reconnect with life’s blessings through the gift of being thankful. " Show Less
