“The Power of Gratitude”
Check out my interview in the October 2018 issue of “Pain-Free Living” magazine on the power of using GRATITUDE to help us to live happy and fulfilling lives despite struggling with chronic conditions. Proud to have been able to contribute my two cents based on what we do in my Facebook group “Attitude of Gratitude […]
The Power of Setting Intentions for Chronic Pain Thrivers!
Hey there, gang! It’s been awhile! As my Facebook group Attitude of Gratitude with Chronic Pain (AoG) continues to grow (we’re at almost 4,000 chronic pain thrivers now!) and I continue writing the book, I’ve had less and less time to write blog posts. My bad! But I haven’t forgotten about you! I hope if […]
Are you “Gratitudinally Fit?” Or “Gratitudinally Challenged?”

The Power of Hope
FANTASTIC post on the power of hope by Gratitude Habitat!

Setting Intentions & Chronic Pain/Illness
Setting intentions is a great way to start your day and can give us a little bit of focus in this chaotic world of OUCH!
