I love hanging out with my great nieces and nephews and children in general. They are so real (no filters), so silly and so much fun!
They are fully present. They aren’t worried about the past or the future. They express how they feel. When they are sad, they are sad. When they are happy, they are happy. It's so refreshing.
Mindful Monday: It's back to school! As children we learn. As adults we unlearn.
It doesn't matter how old I am when September rolls around I still get that 'back to school' feeling.
I remember being excited about the first day of school - to see all of my friends, having new school supplies and a brand new outfit to wear.
Was I excited about learning? Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. But the learning still happened!
Mindful Monday: Why my life keeps getting better and better...
Mindful Monday: I am leaving for a 10 day silent retreat. Yes - complete silence!
Mindful Monday: Stressed about being stressed? This seems to be the new normal.
Mindful Monday: A random act of kindness...and it changed my day!
Mindful Monday: Confession: I eat too fast. Can we practice mindful eating together?
Mindful Monday: Lacking Passion or Purpose? This is what my mom does...
Mindful Mondays: My 12 year old friend shares how meditation has helped her anxiety + increased self-love
Mindful Monday: How was your summer weekend? Were you present + relaxed? Or stressed with a busy mind?
Mindful Mondays: Have Anxiety? Someone just showed me this simple tool. It works!
Mindful Mondays: Difficult Relationships + Judgments. It isn't always easy, is it?
This week I thought we could talk about relationships. We all have them, right?
Would you agree that some people in your life are SO easy to communicate with while others are more challenging?
Do you have someone in your life who triggers you OR you are constantly judging them and think THEY should change?
Mindful Mondays: Eat lunch at your desk? Truth: It's not productive.
Mindful Mondays: Are you ready to be happy?
Mindful Mondays: Let's practice 'morning mindfulness' this week. Are you in?
I am so grateful to be connecting with you this week. As I am writing this email to you I am imagining we are sitting together and having a nice, relaxing conversation - and it fills my heart.
This week I am wondering if you would like to join me and practice being mindful and present in the morning. It's more fun and inspiring when we know we aren't alone in this.
Mindful Mondays: Rarely present. Stressed. Don't know how to live in the moment?
nature + the moment = peace joy fulfillment
I don't know about you - but I love spending time in nature. It soothes my soul.
I am really fortunate because I'm only a few blocks from the river. So pretty much every day I go for a beautiful walk along the pathway. It feels like my backyard!
Nature helps me to be in the moment and feel at peace. It opens up my heart to more gratitude and love.
