Welcome!

I was encouraged by a friend to begin blogging again. So, here I am, starting back! Between work and life in general, the blog was something that slipped away but certainly something my heart missed. I enjoy having a place to share my story and hopefully encourage each of you on your own path to wellness.

As we enter fall, something that has been on my mind is slowing down, Before we know it, the hustle and bustle of the holiday season will be upon us. I plan on taking October slowly. It's one of my favorite months and the crisp, cool weather will soon slip away to cold, winter days.

Meditation and mindfulness are a part of wellness that many tend to neglect. We meal prep and faithfully attend fitness classes but fail to rest our minds and bodies. This world is so busy and there's always something demanding our attention. 

Lately, I have tried to spend less time on social media sites and more time reading or listening to podcasts.I also make a point to spend a few minutes every day journaling and meditating on whatever devotion I read that day. I typically sit in what my friend and mentor calls a "cry, prayer chair". It is a great way to begin my day before I walk into the chaos at the hospital.

Try to remember that mindfulness is an important aspect of wellness. All you need is a cozy space and few minutes everyday to reap the benefits.
