We miss most of them, but when we choose to live a contemplative life, slow down just a bit, and breathe, we might notice the extraordinariness in our ordinary moments that make up our one wild and precious life, as Mary Oliver would say.

A moment to pause

What do you wish to bring into September? I'm a huge fan of September. It's a chance to welcome Autumn for those in the Northern Hemisphere, kids return to school, pumpkin spice comes back, and it's a beautiful time to create some small ripples that can gain momentum and help us finish the year with a sense of accomplishment and grace.

On Tuesday, I celebrate 22 years since My Last Bad Day, which sparked Pause Breathe Reflect. I still clearly remember the morning before my first P.B.R. moment.

And yes, I know that FB owns Instagram, and I'm playing with their new platform, Thread - my inconsistency is all part of my dance. :)Well, last week, I reunited with Facebook because someone recommended Marketplace to sell some cycling gear - as you can imagine, I have a few wheels lying around. I sold my first item on Wednesday and posted a few more things this morning to keep the momentum going. Within minutes, I...
