Finding Gratitude in Challenging Times

Mary Ellen’s journey with GetSetUp began with a class on gratitude, which couldn’t have come at a better time. After her ceiling collapsed, she needed a reminder to stay positive. The class’s message resonated deeply: “It all goes back to having gratitude for where you are and the things you have.” This perspective helped her navigate a difficult situation and opened the door to new opportunities.

Once she took that first class, she was hooked. As an outdoor enthusiast, Mary Ellen eagerly joined a nature photography class and started participating in the weekly photo challenge group. Her dedication paid off when she won the ‘spring flowers’ photo challenge.

Discovering a Shared Passion

On the other side of Chicago, Rose learned about GetSetUp from a friend in her book club. She was amazed at the variety of classes available and quickly became an active member of the GetSetUp community. Rose enjoyed taking cooking classes and eventually started her own interest group for cinema enthusiasts.

For months, neither Mary Ellen nor Rose knew the other existed, even though both were active on the GetSetUp platform and participated in multiple classes each week.

Despite living in the same city and being involved in many of the same activities, it took some time before Mary Ellen and Rose discovered each other on GetSetUp. Their shared interests in photography, learning, and community eventually brought them together, highlighting the power of education and social platforms in fostering connections.
