Episode 013: Cultivating Gratitude and Generosity

Sheila and Maria share several examples from their life experiences that have helped them to cultivate a lasting family practice of gratitude and generosity.   "I don't have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness. It's right in front of me if I'm paying attention and practicing gratitude." - Brené Brown   When we raise our children with the intention that we want them to grow up to be adults who are grateful for what they have and want to give back to their communities, it allows up to look more closely at the daily decisions we make while they are young.  From household chores to allowances, birthdays, and holidays, we want our children to know that they are valuable members of our families and that their contributions are important.  We want them to feel and be able to express gratitude as part of our family culture and we want them to experience the joy of giving.  In this episode, we take a closer look at the decisions we can choose to make which help us cultivate a family practice of gratitude and generosity.
