Morning! Last night I received a really lovely message from a reader! I wanted to share it with you all- “What an incredible website! I am grateful for people like you, who are constant reminders that we can make a choice everyday to be happy. I certainly choose to be happy but not without the […]
Afternoon! Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday. I woke up early and got a great workout in, so I’m very happy. The other thing that makes me happy is that Thankful For a Million now has a twitter: Thankful_FAM. A number of my friends on twitter post positive, exiting things, quotes etc. If you ever […]

So if you have anything you’d like to share send it over to thankfulforamillion@gmail.com. Thanks for all […]

This afternoon I was driving down Santa Monica Boulevard and ran into Mr. Michael A. Bender (pictured above). After reading his sign, I decided […]

While pictures from her trip included the obligatory sunrise-on-the-beach shots they also included […]
