Her life is testament of so much joy and gratitude despite having walked through suffering in some really significant ways. In fact, just 6 months ago, we weren’t sure Nancy was going to be with us much longer because of her battle with cancer, and today it’s an honor to hear her tell her story and share it with all of us. We have a Gratitude Practice Guide available for you over on spirituallystronger.com - if you’ve never documented what you’re grateful for this is an easy step to take. You just download and print it out and you’ll have a way to document your gratitude throughout this week! Find the show notes here . . . .
