This post was originally published on July 13, 2016. A while back, we talked about the times when life puts you on the bench, and tries its best to give you no choice but to take a break. Whether it’s illness, injury, or that particular kind of fatigue that makes you feel like you’re moving

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. Students become summer interns, or even graduates(!), leases end and new ones are signed, bags

If by some chance you’d forgotten that Spring is a time of epic transformation, your itchy, sneezy nose and watery eyes have probably clued you in.
