After ten miscarriages, multiple surgeries to correct fertility issues, a failed business, failed marriage and a laundry list of upsets, Rachel Ellis begged God to just let her die. Lectures from motivational speakers left her more discouraged. Religious services left her hungry and frustrated. It wasn't until she met the mother of a special needs child that she realized the formula to turning her life around: gratitude. By focusing on finding one thing each day for which she was grateful, a beautiful cycle of thanks was set into motion. Each day, as you read through the pages of this gratitude journal, you're challenged to look at your life as a gift. Take a moment to unwrap one gift and become so overcome with appreciation that negativity fades and positivity takes its place. What you face is real. Your pain is not a figment of your imagination. These pages aren't filled with empty rhetoric, religious mumbo-jumbo or church clich. However, through Ellis's journey of gratitude from brokenness to wholeness, you'll learn how to say "thank you" to your own life experiences.
