Quotable:

"I fell in love with the topic of gratitude as a tool, as a science, as a psychological principle to help us create meaningful moments of connection. I love nothing more in life than getting a group of people together who may start off lonely, overwhelmed, disconnected, unfulfilled, insecure, nervous, cautious, anxious, empty, sad, lonely, lost. By the time we're done with them, they leave feeling grateful, connected, happy, joy, inspired, wiser, lighter, ready to tackle the challenges of tomorrow with greater hope, optimism, self-confidence, self-efficacy."

"We have created our own poverty of the soul, which means that people aren't exercising those muscles needed to connect intimately through vulnerability and empathy and gratitude."

"Luck is when life happens to you. Choosing to see gratitude in life's events that you either can or cannot control, that requires perspective. That in itself is agency. Finding gratitude in the serendipitous moments or the miracles in life, or the chance encounter. That requires a trained eye. You need to train these things to be able to see that."
