So I live by what I preach. I grew up around meditators. My mom still meditates every single day for an hour.

And how lucky I am to have had this mindful way of life presented to me early on. It’s something I do not take for granted. That foundation has shaped how I move through the world, rooted in presence, mindful living, and intention.

Living mindfully is the most powerful and beautiful way to live. We begin to have richer experience in this carnation because we bring greater awareness to each and every moment. We miss less and we are fuller, more whole for that.

We are not drifting in our heads, but are fully present for our loved ones. We begin to feel and sense in a way we had not because we arrive. We just arrive, all of us, fully, completely, alert and in total presence.

We begin to feel what others share because we give their sharing our total attention right down to our heart.

And they begin to feel our presence in a way that offers up so much glory in the surrender.

So my very own favorite quotes I’ve used throughout my life and have resonated for me are:
