In honor of the Thanksgiving season, I have pulled together ten quotes on thankfulness and gratitude written by women leaders.
Once you read them, you’ll see that every day is a day to give thanks and show gratitude. Giving thanks is the language of a grateful heart, sometimes expressed with words and other times with deeds. May these words encourage you this season and after.
