Integrating Mindfulness into Daily Life
Mindfulness isn’t just for meditation sessions. You can weave it into your everyday activities. Here are some ideas.
Mindful Eating: Savoring Every Bite
Mindful eating is about paying attention to your food. Notice the taste, texture, and smell of each bite. Reduce distractions during meals. Turn off the TV and put away your phone. Chew slowly and savor each mouthful. This helps you enjoy your food more. You will also notice when you’re full.
Mindful Communication: Listening with Intention

Heeellllooo 2025!!! 🎉🎉 Boy oh, boy!! This is gonna be a year, I can feel it! We’re not even a month into it and I’ve already learned lessons. Some hard wake up calls too, unfortunately. That being said I’m ready for 2025 100%!
My rose colored sunglasses are off, need to stop people pleasing, do what’s best for my overall health (including mental). I’m not afraid of change. I used to be but now I embrace it.
Happy 2025 All!!
ORIGINAL POST: Age is Just a Number
It is now well past December 21, 2023 (I apologize for my long hiatus, lots going on) and indeed age is just a number. Don’t get me wrong, Im not as vital or have the energy I did say 5 years ago, but I don’t look or feel 40 so it’s all good. I want to keep trying to post on here and my tumblr now and again but wont be that often. You know, just in case anyone actually reads this. LOL 😂😂
After months of trying to create a personal website containing graphics I’ve made years and years ago, along with randoms I’ve collected, I’m happy to say that it is officially up and ready to go! Honestly, I didn’t think I’d see this project of mine through as I have a new job and have been working alot so I’ve been too tired to pretty much do anything. Today is my only day off and I managed to get the remaining pages that needed to be created and coded ready. Since I have limited time to work on my ‘side’ projects, I didn’t get to exactly code it exactly like I would have wanted but the main thing is that I did it and it is published. Check it out (or not, I really dont care, just something I started when I was bored lol)
