gratitude improvement tips for hard times Nov 11, 2020

My Dearest Sisters in the Light,

As I write to you, the air here in Utah has taken on the chill of winter, with the first snowfall gracing our land. November holds a special place in my heart, for it marks a significant milestone. Two years ago, I embarked on a journey to create a website that would be a platform for inspiration, and it brings me immense joy to share some exciting news with you.

I am delighted to introduce you to my new website, a labor of love for all of you. You can take a sneak peek at it here: tamarakanderson.com. Within this digital haven, under the "Media/Resources" tab, you'll discover an array of incredible, free resources. There are PDF documents featuring book club questions for my book, "Normal for Me," and "11 Quick and Easy Ways to Reduce Stress." Furthermore, you'll find FREE captivating wallpapers for your computer or phone, adorned with powerful quotes to ignite hope, as well as some lighthearted memes and inspirational Bible verse memes to share.

I am eager to hear your thoughts about this new site, and I hope it becomes a place of inspiration and encouragement for you, a digital sanctuary where your spirits can be lifted.

For those among us who are facing the shadows of struggle, know this: you are loved, cherished, and deeply important. Remember that you are embraced by the love of God, a love that knows no bounds. If you find yourself in need of a dose of hope, especially when battling anxiety or depression, I urge you to listen to my podcast interview with Trina Boice, where we explore "Easy Tips for Hard Times." It's a conversation filled with practical guidance and a reminder that God's love is a source of endless hope. "Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord." (Psalm 31:24, KJV)

I've also had the privilege of sharing a heartfelt interview with Wendi Jagerson. She is a warrior who has faced the challenges of depression, bipolar issues, social anxiety, and MS. Over the years, she's taken inspiring baby steps toward progress. Her story, "Wendi Jagerson: Why Practice Makes Better, Not Perfect," is a testament to the power of resilience and the faith that propels us forward.

As we step into this season of gratitude, I want to take a moment to express my deep appreciation for you. Thank you for your unwavering support, boundless love, and remarkable generosity. Thank you for lending your ears to my podcasts, for reading my book, and most importantly, for simply being the wonderful, God-created you.

May your hearts overflow with hope and gratitude as we journey together through life's seasons. In the words of Psalm 100:4 (KJV), "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name."

With love and heartfelt gratitude,

Tamara
