Miraculous Maeva
The last few weeks have felt like a massive roller coaster ride. As you know from a few of my previous posts, our latest grandchild had a tumor.

Serious Stuff
One of the pitfalls of social media is that often only the good stuff is shown. I try to be real in my blog, but another factor in posting things online is privacy. So sometimes things happen, and we can’t write about them. At least at the time. That happened to me. Now I have […]

A Calm Thought
The other day I went for a walk and listened to a meditation on the Calm app. In a little ten-minute session the narrator was focusing on thoughts and had some advice that has been resonating with me for over a week now. Shen mentioned that our minds were like radio stations that are constantly […]

Calm
There are a lot of great perks that come with my job. Recently I discovered a new one that I’m particularly thankful for. We are allowed to expense subscriptions to mindfulness apps. I’ve dabbled in them in the past, signing up for trials, but never took them too seriously. Recently, however, I’ve been embracing the […]
