14 years ago, I remember pulling into what is now my driveway and thinking ~ Yeah, I can see myself pulling in here after work for years to come! It was in my mind’s eye and actually doing it once felt like I had already done it dozens of times before.

Often I hear friends, family, neighbors… most people, launch into stories about everything that has gone wrong in the

I was just reading the other day about mindfulness and right away I started thinking about how long it has been since I rolled out my yoga mat and started questioning myself on whether I did my morning meditation today… or was that yesterday I missed it…? The schedule seems busy lately and I can’t help but feel like that will continue for a while (which is a good thing!).
