Bonus Episode: A Soft Place for Gratitude

In this bonus mini-episode, Beth shares her short story called "A Soft Place for Gratitude," following Aya as she discovers quiet moments of thankfulness on a peaceful hillside. The tale shows how gratitude can be found in small, simple moments rather than big celebrations.
