A very special thank you to several people that have chosen to embrace mindfulness in 2018.  I'm thrilled to serve them through this blog and in other ways.  I'm delighted.  

I also had some people tell me I was cracker jacks for thinking that anyone wants to be mindful.  That sitting quietly was a "stupid idea".  I listened with curiosity.  I put myself in their shoes.  I looked at life through their lens.  

We all need to belong to something.  I'm not for everyone--I completely understand that.  I'm happy for them that they have a place they belong.  Everyone should have their own spot they feel safe, loved, honored and respected.

Until tomorrow.

Today I made homemade pierogis . . . 

Sharing words of wisdom by Michael Pollan.

When stirring the pot, just stir the pot. I get it now. It seems that one of the great luxuries of life at this point is to be able to do one thing at a time, one thing to which you give yourself wholeheartedly. Unitasking.

Or,

When you are cutting the rhubarb you have lovingly grown and will now make rhubarb pudding cake (a bake sale recipe rattled off to me by ​an old Polish woman) . . . just cut the rhubarb.​​
