I received a card today from one of our members. J Brad Britton. One of my earliest business and life mentors. He has a remarkable book coming out called “Words with Sam” about navigating life with an autistic son. When you learn about what this kid can say when given a keyboard to type, it’s mind blowing and heart melting. So much hope for families with special needs children.

One of the things I'm challenging myself with in this Gratitude challenge is to not have every thank you card planned. I'm enjoying the surprise and anticipation that comes throughout the day, knowing that I'll get to write a thank you, but don't know to who yet. I'm trying to find someone that brought me joy TODAY or showed up in a way that should be celebrated, rather than a past event. Today, I'm working in the office and brought my thank you card with me, and I'm excited to see where the day will take me. Thank you for starting the challenge @John Israel - not only is it allowing me to spread gratitude, but also to look for the MAGIC in each day :)

My first card is to YOU. Watch me read this card live. Enjoy. The best is yet to come.

We will have 100 members by the end of this month, and 1000 by the end of this year. I don't care about the # as much as I care about how many people are out there daily making intentional connections daily, and blowing people's minds with unexpected gratitude. Thank you to all you "early adopters". You'll all get to say at some point, "I was there in the beginning." More good to come :) Keep finding and forwarding the good!
