I started this year on January 1, 2024, writing the first entry in my new Gratitude Journal. I have been writing in my first Gratitude Journal every day since this year. The writing reminds me of what I am grateful for each day. Under the “Positive affirmation” section for the day I recorded the quote …
I missed publishing my blog last week due to my travels through Egypt. We started our two weeks plus trip in Jordan. We visited Aman and Petra in Jordan, which were amazing. From Jordon we took a short flight to Cairo, Egypt to spend two weeks visiting a walk back in time. Our first stop …
