Dr. Brett Blair’s presentation served as a great reminder and encouragement that despite the circumstances, I can still choose joy. Joy is not a posture of ignoring the hard but rather a posture of recognizing that in the midst of the storm, the sun will shine again, and that is where hope can blossom. I would strongly encourage you to allow Brett to share his story and some practical steps for achieving a posture of positivity and hope.
