#67 His Mother's disease helped him to find GRATITUDE and PURPOSE - Teddy Droseros' Story

#67 Teddy Droseros is a man on a mission to spread the practice of GRATITUDE everywhere he goes. It first came to him as he watched his mother’s body fight with her mind as she struggled to endure her fight with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). He found himself being grateful that his body functioned properly and didn’t fight with his mind to do daily tasks. Her struggle allowed him to focus on and be grateful for hundreds of daily tasks that most of us can do simply that we all take for granted. His mission of gratitude quickly expanded as he created a non-profit 501(c3) charity called Grateful Peoples to raise money for gratitude journals in schools. His efforts culminated in over 7,000 (and counting) journals placed in schools across 4 countries to practice daily gratitude. HIs mission was further expanded when he had the idea of placing several hundred gratitude journals in coffee shops throughout the country where customers could write down what they were grateful for in the journals. He has received most of the journals back and now he is writing a book about what he learned from those coffee shop journals. Please join Shawn and Jen as they talk with a young man on a mission to encourage everyone to practice gratitude daily. Being GRATEFUL is a great way to spark HOPE!
