Please make yourself a note to schedule 2 minutes on Tues. April 22 "to stop & genuinely focus on the feeling of appreciation & gratitude for our beautiful planet."
=== WHY APPRECIATION ? ===
"Appreciation is a powerful emotion with scientifically proven benefits. This one emotion has been shown to positively impact our entire system - from our attitudes & immune system to our heart & mental clarity.
Appreciation means to be thankful, or express feelings of admiration, approval & gratitude. It also means something has increased in value.
