Getting Grateful with Braiding Sweetgrass

This week on Getting Literate, Katie and Julia learn from the beautiful & insightful Braiding Sweetgrass. The gals gush about the beautiful writing, compare how connected to the earth they are, and the physical, spiritual, and emotional benefits of practicing gratitude. Katie cries thinking about how much she loves her garden, and Julia is really nostalgic for her days at nature camp. PLUS: horror video games, shiny red canoes, and white dudes fighting white dudes.
