Stressed or Blessed?

About this episode

We all know that our lives are filled with blessings. Yet, when we face challenges or feel upset, the pain or suffering can overshadow everything else. Tune into this podcast to discover how to maintain an awareness of our blessings, even in tough times. By remembering our blessings, we can often find a glimmer of hope on our darkest days.

I recorded this podcast over five years ago, and it's remarkable how it continues to resonate and hold even more meaning today.
