Gratitude doesn’t necessarily grow on trees…. But it does often like to hide in their branches. In fact, this is also why gratitude seems to always stick close to beings with feathers. They both love a good game of “hide n seek.” They are both welcome wherever they go. They both like to roost whenContinueContinue reading “Tuesday Gratefuls: Pearl & Shannon Share”

Being born with feathers also means you always feel ready to celebrate (who wouldn’t be, when they always wake up looking that pretty?) But while all days are worth celebrating, some days are particularly celebration-worthy. For example, there is the day your personal Tall Tree, aka Grandpa, has his annual birthday.
