I’ve done a bunch of different things so far as part of my 30 Day Mindfulness Challenge, but I have to say that this one is the most fun. Mindful eating. It means exactly what you think. Paying attention to what you’re eating. How it feels in your mouth, how it smells, how it tastes. […]
Continue readingI just found (and took) this quiz. I think it’s really interesting. Natalie Ledwell says that we’re sabotaging ourselves, even thought we don’t mean to. She’s saying that’s the reason we’re not as successful as we want to be. So she set up a really interesting quiz you can take. The 30 second quiz can […]

I’m so excited! When I went to get the mail today, I had a package from Disney! I didn’t expect it until tomorrow, so I was surprised that it got here today. I think it’s really cute, and can’t wait to wear it! Of course, it’s long sleeve weather today, but I heard that it […]
