This past weekend I spent time with my dad. He’s 89 years old and a man of strong faith. I have noticed in our calls and visits since my brother passed, he always ends our conversations with “I love you.” It’s become a gift I cherish.

Gratitude and contribution journaling has taught me to notice moments like these more fully. The practice of daily reflection — what am I grateful for, what did I contribute today — brings a kind of peace that no amount of business success can manufacture. Give and receive openly. It’s worth more than you think.
