Can you find something neutral?

Not for nothing, but gratitude practices are good for us. Except sometimes the world pours us a big old cup of NOPE. So do we abandon our practices and abandon all hope?

Nope.

if you have the privilege to make space to do so, there’s never been a better time to try something new. It just might bring some love and healing.
