As we move into Thanksgiving week, I’ve been reflecting on how gratitude can steady us—whether life feels soft and peaceful or a bit like herding cats on a windy day. Sometimes gratitude shows up as a person, a small moment of beauty, or even the unexpected comfort that gets us through the day.
I’d love to hear from all of you:
What is one thing you’re grateful for right now that helps you stay grounded in your work, your healing, or your daily life?
