All new for 2022!
The Community Book Project: Celebrating 365 Days of Gratitude People from all walks of life join together in this thought-of-the-day collection of essays. This book brims with appreciation without crossing the line to sappy or too “woo-woo.” Instead you will find evidence that harnessing the power of gratitude can be a life-changing force. Inside are stories about the things, people, circumstances, and events the contributors that bring gratitude to everyday life.
These “gratitude-in-real-life” stories are about more than the polite "thank yous" we casually exchange every day. They're testimonials to the people and things we often take for granted. Join us in this growing movement of people from around the world who have committed to asking themselves this simple yet profound question every day of the week--what am I grateful for? Lead editor Donna Kozik is a USA TODAY and WALL STREET JOURNAL bestselling author.

The philosophy of the Indian Proverb A House With Four Rooms states that we should think of ourselves as a house with four rooms: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual rooms. It goes on to say we must do something daily in each of these rooms for physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. One doesn't have to spend lengthy periods of time in each room but must go into each daily, even if it is to only open a window to "air" it out.
This practice allows you to discover your purpose, align your personal and professional goals, and make decisions in order to live intentionally.
