We all talk about how we want to bring more connectedness into our lives. We may want to connect with spirit, our bodies, acceptance, forgiveness or simply to find peace. Whether you already have a practice that centers you or you want to have a practice, but haven’t yet begun, here is a chance to write about what keeps you going or keeps you from starting and read what others are experiencing on their own journeys.

I am pleased to announce that Kelly from Becoming Crunchy will be joining me in presenting the Second Mindful Mama Carnival.

Topic: What does being mindful mean to you?

Do you have a mindfulness practice? Is mindfulness something that you try to cultivate in your life? How does living mindfully appear and feel in your life? Is there something that prevents you from living the your life as mindfully as you wish? Let us know what mindfulness looks like in your life. Thank you to Rachel @ The Variegated Life for the topic suggestion
