As 2024 ends, we are excited to bring you a truly inspiring story. Today’s guest, Lisa Kent, has embarked on a year-long journey, sharing a daily post of gratitude every single day in 2024. Each day, she shares a couple of sentences and a photo to show what she’s thankful for, and it’s all shared publicly on social media. We’ll dive into what inspired her to start this journey, why she chose to make it public, and what unexpected lessons and blessings she’s discovered along the way. 

To know Lisa is to love her, which is why her journey of gratitude will inspire us all to notice more, appreciate more, and perhaps even express our own gratitude in new ways.
