Life provides many beautiful and difficult moments. How will we respond? By practicing mindfulness, we can find the joy and the opportunities to grow through whatever life brings to us. I lived as a Catholic monastic for almost ten years. In that time, I was able to learn meditation in various traditions. Now, I want to share what that time brought to me with others, to help you find some bit of peace and joy amidst a very busy world.

A peaceful breathing exercise followed by a brief yet enchanting visualization. Great way to start the day.

Lovely. I was drawn to this because most of my childhood was spent in a town near Lake Huron.
