She will tell us how she makes a conscious effort to be grateful even when she's at the lowest, weaving personal experiences form years of living overseas into her discussion. Learning to appreciate what difficult moments have to teach is what she believes to be one of life's most important discoveries. Author of 'This Time, Another Place, a Book of Poems, Melinda sees the beauty even when there seems to be none. Tune in to hear how she does it.
