This might not be such a popular thing to say right now, but I'm just not a huge gratitude junkie. And here's why: I don't want to indulge in the kind of gratitude that arises when you hear that someone else has cancer or loses their job, or just happens to live in a...

The Transformative Power of Offering and Gratitude
