The Gift of The Gratitude Mindset - From an Author’s Perspective

What does it mean to embrace the Gratitude Mindset?

It for sure doesn’t mean forcing yourself to enjoy every single second, especially those hard parts, but it does mean finding a way to navigate the highs and lows of life.

Join us on Wednesday, December 6 for a discussion on what The Gratitude Mindset means to us (especially in relation to our careers as writers) and how you can implement this gift t in your own life.

This event is hosted by the Ladies Lifestyle Network of Richmond, Virginia.

All proceeds go to Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) of Greater Richmond.
