Deborah Shepherd, the founder of Embrace Life Festivals and Gratitude Online believes there is a direct connection between remaining in a state of gratitude and one's overall health and wellbeing. By staying in one's heart space and in the present moment, allowing and appreciative of what is currently in our lives , we are at ease and in flow, and able to enjoy and embrace all that life has to offer. For when we focus on what we have, we always have more than enough.
