My Interview with Cynthia L Simmons: You Need to Know the Power of Gratitude
I recently had the joy of being interviewed by Cynthia L. Simmons about the heart behind my latest project: A Guided Gratitude Journal. In our conversation, I shared how keeping gratitude journals for more than 25 years has shaped my life, especially during difficult seasons. Writing down even the smallest blessings has helped me stay grounded, hopeful, and aware of God’s faithfulness.
We discussed the importance of cultivating gratitude, not just feeling thankful when life is easy, but also intentionally giving thanks even when it’s not. I shared simple habits that have helped me, like beginning each day with one small “thank you,” looking for God’s goodness in unexpected places, and even using a gratitude playlist to shift my mindset.
The interview is an encouragement for anyone who feels overwhelmed or weary. Gratitude is a simple practice that really can bring peace, perspective, and joy, and keeping a journal makes it even more meaningful.
If you need a gentle reset or want to grow spiritually this season, I’d love for you to read or listen to the full interview.
