More of a listener than a reader? Check out this audio version of the mindfulness challenge in today’s post: This week was all about transitions – shifts in the season bring unpredictable weather, as well as changes in life.

Today in the U.S., we honor courage. We remember those whose sacrifice has helped to make our collective life here more full of opportunity.

It is perhaps the only quantifiable commodity on earth that cannot be contained. It is omnipresent but infinitely precious. We are hyper-conscious of it, but value most the moments when we completely forget about it.
