Alabama Lifespan Respite Presents:
💬 The Language of Appreciation: Gratitude That Feels Real 🌿

Gratitude isn’t about pretending everything’s perfect—it’s about finding meaning and connection in the middle of real life.

Join Jenny Stang, LMSW, for an open conversation on expressing appreciation in authentic, heartfelt ways. Together, we’ll explore how gratitude can ground us through change, tradition, and shifting expectations.

Because peace—not perfection—is the real tradition worth keeping. 💛

🗓 Wednesday, November 26th @ 10 AM
💻 Via Zoom

Let’s make space for genuine gratitude this season. ✨
