Kristi Nelson knows the deep joy that springs from simply being alive. This perspective has grown out of her own struggles with stage IV cancer. It led her to explore the practice of gratefulness. And she’s discovered that living with gratefulness is more than just another task to perform, it’s an orientation to life. She counsels us to avoid getting caught in the hamster wheel of life, forgetting again and again that the present moment is truly all we have, and it’s both precious and fleeting. She suggests that the practice of gratefulness is a direct pathway to the qualities of mind and heart that lend themselves to our well-being as it spills over into an experience of true abundance. She can attest to the fact that grateful living adds to the stamina we need for our journey, and enhances our relationships, and to the larger world to which we belong.
