Coffee Talk Every Wednesday

10:30am-11:00am(CT)

GratitudeEveryMonday

10:00am-10:30am(CT)

Practicing gratitude is an easy thing to do, but we often are too busy to

remember to do it. The truth is that it is impossible to feel both the positive

emotion of being grateful and a negative emotion such as anger or fear at the

same time. Make a difference in your life with a daily gratitude practice.
