NOTE: This story was written/recorded before today's reality of coronavirus. That said, as mentioned in the 3/13 bonus episode titled, Coronavirus and Encouragement, choosing to take in some positivity is never the wrong thing to do. As such, Tuesday stories will continue. If anything, to bring a little light into your life. 

In this episode, with a large-value gift card in hand, you set out to enjoy a solo shopping trip at your favorite superstore ... but the trip concludes in an unexpected way. 

Remember, YOU are the main character in every story you hear, and I drop you in the middle of a challenging or potentially stress-inducing scene or scenario and GUIDE you toward practicing positive mindset, positive action or reframing.
