The Powerful Gift of Being an Appreciator




with Tracey Gates

April 18, 2024 | 6:00 - 7:00 PM | In-person and Zoom

Tracey Gates, kindness ambassador, wellness coach, and author of The Power of a Few Kind Words: Create a More Meaningful Life One Letter at a Time, challenged herself to write a handwritten, unexpected letter of appreciation to a different person every day for one year leading to a transformational journey. Tracey will show us how we can cultivate a more meaningful and abundant life in her special talk. Grab a pen and simply share your kind thoughts - there is so much to appreciate about people around us when we make the proactive choice to slow down and take notice.
