31 days to get an Attitude of Gratitude Attitude of Gratitude Video about the Mustard Tree Foundation www mustardtreefoundation org www feelgoodmerchandise com
Why did we do an “Attitude of Gratitude” monthly exercise? In June of 2011, my family came to Insight with our son who was addicted to drugs. We were angry, hopeless, and in despair. There was no room for gratitude and honestly, we did not see gratitude as an action. What we didn’t know on that day was that our whole world would change, we would be given amazing tools to use in our everyday life. He is now sober, and, best of all happy. I share this with you to show you it is never too dark a day to have gratitude in your life. These cards were made with love. Sincerely, Sue Hansen, Founder and Director of the Mustard Tree Foundation. www.mustardtreefoundation.org The Mustard Tree Foundation is a non-profit organization and has helped over 250 young people with addiction since November 2016. The MTF proudly modeled and helped start other foundations across the country for additional Enthusiastic Sobriety Programs.
