"Tania Luna "

How a penny made me feel like a millionaire.

Having a bad day. Things didn't work out the way you wanted? Maybe you didn't get something you wanted? Client complaining about their predicament? How life is unfair?

What about gratitude? A fresh perspective of your/their lives?

As a young child, Tania Luna left her home in post-Chernobyl Ukraine to take asylum in the US. And one day, on the floor of the New York homeless shelter where she and her family lived, she found a penny. She has never again felt so rich. A meditation on the bittersweet joys of childhood — and how to hold them in mind.
