“Mindfulness is about love and loving life. When you cultivate this love, it gives you clarity and compassion for life, and your actions happen in accordance with that.” ~Jon Kabat-Zinn I started meditating and practicing mindfulness more seriously several years ago incorporating it in to my daily routine, initially to help with my anxiety.

“The beautiful thing about fear is that when you run to it, it runs away.” ~Robin Sharma During my first-grade choir concert, my classmate, Meg, fainted from the top row of the bleachers, and in a subconscious gesture of empathy, I went down right after her, breaking my glasses and flailing on the gymnasium floor.

“The most important thing is to enjoy your life—to be happy—it’s all that matters.” ~Audrey Hepburn Happiness and its pursuit fascinate me. Like most people, I’m curious why on some mornings I wake up and the world is a wonderful place—the sun is shining, happiness oozes out of my heart like warm honey, and the […]

“You must learn to love yourself before you can love someone else.” ~Sonja Mylin It’s tough being out there. I remember myself some years ago embracing the world of online dating. Everyone kept telling me “be yourself” (and I kept telling myself that), but when I was actually on a date, “myself” would fly out […]
“Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.” ~Lao Tzu We all have recorded messages playing in our heads, from long ago. Listen to parents talking to young children.
