Every moment matters. Teacher and blogger Livia Chan learned early in life that you don’t know when it will be the last time you get to say goodbye to the ones you love. In her 20s, Livia lost her best friend and grandmother. Since then, Livia has made it a point to make sure to count her blessings by making every moment count. She calls these everyday moments Atomic Interactions.Valuing these small moments is a practice of healing or feeling into our wholeness. This conversation leans into the Gratitude Blooming theme of Healing represented by the Peony, which you can also collect as an NFT. https://mirror.xyz/gratitudeblooming.eth/6O3wcMnZBlEVjOgqapyeYGQXzOFFXAnCUiPGdVxLrNYFind more about Livia Chan’s work at https://livchan.com You can always find encouragement to practice with the Gratitude Blooming cards in our metagarden community on discord: https://discord.gg/MeRrhxKax4We appreciate your support and help so we can bloom!
