30 Days of Gratitude – Day 6
Today’s gratitude is about blessings in disguise! When we come against a difficult situation and the ship we were trying to steer in one direction forces us to go in another direction, it can feel like the universe is working against us. I had my heart truly broken two times in my life. We are …
30 Days of Gratitude – Day 2
For day two, my gratitude is for something I find comfort in… My faith.
