18 Days of Gratitude Challenge

What better time than November to create a gratitude practice! Research has shown that people who have a regular gratitude practice are living happier lives. And all it takes is a little effort every day to find gratitude in our every day lives. SO lets have some fun with it and practice gratitude in a different way for 18 days! Folow along with me on Instagram and share your gratitude practice with #18daysofgratitude.
