Don’t forget if you have written a post which you would like readers to see, just leave a comment below.

I feel so much gratitude to Elizabeth as she shares her journey with mindfulness with us through her blog. I was very moved by her latest post on the RAIN meditation. Do read it.

A poignant reminder by Detrice to cherish those we love in our lives.

I loved reading Carrie‘s post on what lies beneath – really powerful imagery and message.

Catherine has been resting on her new sofa, and dreaming of cars, after her first chemo session last week. Sending oodles of healing thoughts your way Catherine.

Finally this week, a warm welcome back to the blogosphere to Lori – we’ve missed you!

Until next week,

Yours with love
