Tracie shares one of the ways she says present throughout the day amidst the immensity of the to-do list or the demands to be productive: saying blessings over daily rituals. She tells us about the blessings she says over things that may seem mundane–like a cup of coffee or a workout–-, and what effect this has had on her life.
