Mindful Living 

Cultivating a practice of mindfulness in my daily life helps me appreciate each day and find well-being in the present moment, no matter where I am. When we carry that mindfulness outside of ourselves into our daily routines and relationships, we create patterns of mindful living – living out the appreciation and well-being that awareness and intention bring. Here are some resources on different mindful living practices you might like to explore in  your own life:

Community Living 

It’s no secret to those who know me that I gain energy and joy from the vibrant community of people in my life.
