In my last newsletter (link in comments), I shared a few things I was grateful for in my life as a gratitude practice. I received an email question from somebody I don’t know that read: “How does one practice gratitude when there is so little to nothing to be grateful for?” I’m sharing my response…

Yep. This. “
Yep. This. My career path makes no sense when viewed linearly. But I learned something about myself each step of the way, and took each next step in a new compass heading, building more alignment in each job along a path of finding myself.
You can’t do everything you want to do.” “” “Many years ago, I was lamenting to a friend that I wasn’t doing everything I wanted to do. He stopped me and said it’s impossible to do everything at once. He then coined the Two Things theory, saying that it’s hard to make more than two…
