What are Mindful Moments?
For me, a mindful moment is that moment when I take a breath while also taking in what’s in my awareness.
I observe. I give attention. I let whatever is just at the surface to bubble up.
I pay attention to my mind and also my body.
I notice how I feel and where I feel and if I feel at all.
Am I tense? Excited? Withdrawn? Peaceful? Closing down? Opening?
I do not judge or criticize. I do not immediately push myself toward whatever is not there — what I think “should” be there.
I notice what doesn’t feel like it serves me any more.
I see if I can notice a habit or belief that is outdated.
I notice if I am repeating old stories about me that aren’t me any longer.
This is an approach that has taken me quite a bit to be able to do because the critical voice inside my head was quite bossy and insistent that I was wrong, no good, hopeless.
Mindful Moments have become quite important to me because this is where I have found the authentic voice of my body, mind, heart, and soul.
It is in a mindful moment that I usually write.
I let whatever it is bubble up and out it comes and flows from pen to paper without much interference on my part.
My logical mind takes a step back and leaves the stage open to my heart, to my spirit, to my soul.
This allows the words to come up from the integration of all of who I am and can become.
The process and that which is created in the process flows from a deep resonance that sounds like to me that my entire being is singing.
The words flow like a song to paper.
For me this moment is a type of meditation, an expression of mindfulness that transports me to a place of joy and of peace.
In this section of my website, I have the articles that came from the creation of a mindful moment.
I hope you find resonance which helps you step into your own mindful moment.

This is my loss in this moment and mine alone to deal with. My mother was there when I asked. To expect my daughter to ask for the same from me is me putting my expectations on her. Let me not lay my expectations at my daughter’s feet. Let me open a door to her asking of me without expectation.
