Muddy mindful mommy moments

Mothering with Mindfulness is an effort to be aware of the present moment in being a mom. Mindfulness brings stress relief and sparks joy. It means being aware, for me this means reading and writing A LOT about choices I make, food we eat, ways to discipline, connect, communicate and pretty much anything. Some times it just means, stopping to breathe. I write it all down, mostly because I need to, I just need to write, it's how I move through life-I share because it's all universal.

Mindful Musings of a Mom

The best moments are the moments of awareness. Modern Buddism teaches us the awareness if reflection of what is real, and what is true. Like a mirror reflects exactly what is in fron of us without distortion. Our eyes can reflect exactly what is in our lives. It takes practice to refrain from assessment, judgement and analysis of what we see. But if we train ourselves it is attainable. We are left with what is naturally there, which holds more beauty, truth and realness than any single thing we can imagine in our own minds! It is breath taking. It is amazing! It is truth!
