We’ve written about abundance and gratitude in the past. Today, the conversation around both of these things feels very different, but they are no less important. In fact, they are more important than ever.
The numbers keep rising, and the world keeps changing. From where we’re standing, things can look pretty grim. It reminds us of a flight we took on a cloudy morning from Minneapolis to Los Angeles. As our plane took off the skies were overcast and dark, but as we broke through the cloud deck, we were greeted by an explosion of vibrant sunshine and expansive blue skies. The sun had been there the whole time, it was just hidden by the clouds. Some thoughts from OrangeBall on seeing above the clouds when everything looks dark...
