Have you ever considered being both the dispenser and receiver of gratitude at the same time? Paula and I talk about so many benefits of gratitude and how it can change our brains over time. Did you know feeling grateful helps balance our health and well-being? There are actually a couple times that I am overcome with emotion and I start crying. uThe same happens for Paula… I love the flow of our conversation. I hope you do, too.
