She fulfills this mission through a variety of her work, including Choose Again: A Journey to Wholeness, a performance piece that recounts her adventures (and misadventures) in a life with depression, and the podcast, I Wasn\u2019t Always Like This. Her book, From There to Here: An Insider\u2019s Guide to Navigating the Darkness, is a collection of her thoughts and insights shining a light into the shadows of living with chronic depression.Rachel joins me today to discuss gratitude and kindness, as well as what cherishing them entails. She shares what inspired her to maintain gratitude and explains why she tries to be kind. She differentiates gratitude from \u201cguilty\u201d gratitude, defines what \u201cspiritual bypassing\u201d means, and explains why gratitude can often sound like glossing over pain. She also underscores how her spiritual path and gratitude mutually support each other and highlights why it\u2019s important to cherish and protect gratitude.\u201cI\u2019ve been shown such great kindness in my life that I feel it is my joyous and sweet obligation to be kind.\u201d -\u00a0Rev.
