It has been a while between posts. I have been busy with the end of year rush. This article by Weh Yeoh really brought it back for me. I have been practicing mindfulness for years but seem to still get caught up in the everyday chaos of life. The skills that mindfulness give you though is to be more aware of each action, each thought, each gesture right in that given moment which for me is the cornerstone of truly living. Through improving mindfulness and fostering compassion it is a powerful combination for positive human development.
