Here is a recap from the last two Lunch & Learn sessions in the Wholehearted Living Series:
RESILIENT SPIRIT: Having a resilient spirit is a guidepost in wholehearted living. Very simply put, resilience is the ability to overcome adversity. Start building your resilience today by getting connected, making every day have meaning, learning from the past, staying hopeful, taking care of yourself, and taking action.

GRATITUDE & JOY: Gratitude is an emotion that reflects our deep appreciation for what we value, what brings meaning to our lives, and what makes us feel connected to ourselves and others. Joy is a step beyond happiness - it is a light that fills you with hope and faith and love. To help with wholehearted living, practice gratitude often and at least on a daily basis. And find those daily doses of joy that happen in ordinary moments.
