Welcome to our next conversation for Women's History Month where we celebrate the incredible and often-overlooked contributions of women to United States history.  Just like last week, it's an opportunity for us to choose to honor strong and grateful women that have been part of The Gratitude Spark Podcast.

Today we are jumping back an earlier conversation with Julie Cara Hoffenberg who showed us all what it means to go from homeless to happy.

Julie is a spiritual artist and author. Her latest book is "Homeless to Happy in a Split Second", in which she shares her story of life behind the wheel while living in her Hyundai Tucson, and how it allowed her to tap more deeply into her joy and purpose. She feels her purpose here on earth is simply to love and be loved, and her art and books are the channel through which she does this. She's passionate about seeing someone's eyes light up when they have an "a-ha" moment, and loves connecting deeply with those around her. Nature is her greatest inspiration and can often be found on van trips with her wife or photographing the beauty she finds on a trail. It's Julie's hope that her books and art will bring a sense of love and grace to the world, encouraging people to claim their innate power within and live the lives they feel most aligned with!

In this episode, Julie will share her story about how she camped on cliffsides, attained work in an unfamiliar town, met a hugging saint, and spent nearly a year watching sunrises and sunsets along the California coast. She talks about resistance and surrender, pain and pleasure, and an abundance of gratitude along the way.

Join us as Julie takes us on her journey from homeless to happy.
