In today’s episode we sit down with Elena, who's journey began with a simple, daily habit: writing a handwritten thank‑you note to a real person. That “whoosh” moment sparked a cascade of daily serendipities she now calls “daily miracles.”From feeling the immediate lift of gratitude on a rainy‑day commute to spotting a perfect parking spot, Elena’s practice turned ordinary moments into powerful reminders of abundance. Her gratitude routine didn’t just brighten her moods—it reshaped her career. In November 2014, while struggling to meet an impossible sales quota, a client offered to renew early, eventually sealing a $1.1 million, five‑year contract in just two weeks. That breakthrough convinced Elena that these miracles could be scaled and shared, inspiring her to write the book Spread Thanks: Create Miracles Through the Power of Ink. Ready to turn ink into miracles? Let’s dive in. Here are some of the questions you'll find answers to: 1. How can writing a single, handwritten thank‑you note each day transform my mood and outlook? 2. In what ways does practicing daily gratitude turn ordinary “accidents” or setbacks into opportunities and “miracles”? 3. Why does expressing genuine appreciation to others (instead of just keeping a gratitude journal) create a ripple effect that benefits both the sender and the recipient? 4. How does the act of paying attention to the small, everyday helpers around us expand our sense of abundance and lead to larger successes? 5. What practical steps can I follow to turn fleeting moments of thankfulness into a sustainable habit that fuels lasting personal and professional growth?
