A Mindful Moment

No nos referimos a ese tipo de flexible... pero está claro que ya no podemos ser rígidos en nuestra forma de pensar. Bueno, aquí vamos de nuevo en el sur de California. Después de 119 días, estamos de vuelta a donde empezamos en marzo. Creo que hay una línea similar en la película, Jurassic Park, donde los personajes trabajan muy duro para salir del auto que ataca un dinosaurio, solo para terminar también de vuelta en el coche.

We are all human…and I am the kind of mom who loses it once in a while, yells at the kids now and then, and maybe even cries sometimes. Let’s first acknowledge that, for some of us, supporting and un

I had to go out to the grocery store this week because what has become my weekly grocery delivery never showed up last week. I haven’t left my house for any reason for three weeks and there’s a nice safe feeling about that. I’m well and haven’t been exposed so why risk it?
