UNDERSTANDING THANKFULNESS

I love the holidays and I really enjoy the opportunity it provides to create traditions with our family. With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, we wanted to invest some time on the front end helping Emet understand thankfulness and what it means to be thankful…

LIVING THANKFULLY

One area I've challenged myself to work on is the practice of thankfulness. I believe looking at life through the lens of thankfulness will not only make you more pleasant to be around, it will also provide you with more everyday enjoyment...
