Emotions have a powerful impact on our lives, and gratitude, in particular, is an incredible force that can bring about positive transformations.

When we embrace the power of emotion and express genuine gratitude, it creates a ripple effect that spreads positivity not only within ourselves but also to those around us.

Everyday we have the opportunity to express our gratitude in a myriad of ways by journaling who and what we're grateful for. An act of kindness towards others shows kindness that will continue to ripple on to another.

Gratitude is a foundational basic for me. Every morning I state who and what I'm grateful for. It helps me to appreciate those in my life as well as my own life.

What are you grateful for? How can you be the ripple effect in someone's life today?
