Mindful Everyday Moment: #76 when the dots connect
On family road trips, we would play the alphabet game, roadside cribbage, the license plate game, twenty questions, and connect-the-dots. We were an analog family because analog was the only option.
Today, I was speaking at the Positivity Summit, and before I walked on stage, it occurred to me that I was playing connect-the-dots.
Mindful Everyday Moment: #77 when the neighborhood goes to the birds
What does joy sound like? Where do you feel in your body?

Mindful Everyday Moment: #78 witnessing a last breath
Two years ago today, my Mom passed away. I hadn't seen or spoken to her in a few years because of challenging family dynamics.

Mindful Everyday Moments: #79 waking to a full gas tank
I don't believe acts of kindness are random. They can feel that way when we receive - kindness out of the blue, but they're intentional by the person creating the ripple. When we receive them, it's validation that we're seen by karma - well, that's my story, and I'm sticking with it.
