Thank you so much for this much needed reminder. This past year has been a changer for me as I navigate empty nest, change in jobs, financial issues, health issues, aging parents and all the other small things that can go wrong/change that will! But, with a new-found focus on mindfulness, I’m navigating all that is going on in my life and finding, surprisingly, an inner peace that surrounds me. Reading your articles adds to this peace and the advise I carry with me throughout the day. So happy I found you!
