Cultivating Gratitude w/ Nancy Boyne

Gratitude has altered the way Nancy Boyne sees the world and herself. Nancy’s lifework included learning consulting and corporate telecommunications. She now is a super-active retiree with a practice of recognizing and acknowledging the goodness in her life. Listen in as she takes you through her travels, her successes, her obstacles, and her challenges.

I highlight some of the many benefits of gratitude practices and offer some advice on how to cultivate and express a state of thankfulness.
