This is the 3rd episode of Reach Higher Coaching's series on The Effects of Gratitude. Today we focus on how gratitude impacts our personalities, and specifically the presonality trait of optimism.

Join me in the Gratitude Invitations, and share your experiences with anyone who might benefit from a little more gratitude in their lives (and let's be hones, that's probably everyone).

Here are links to the resources that have helped me prepare for the Gratitude series and particularly for today if you want to learn more.
