Announcement: Relaxation Story is published on the Insight Timer app!

The Insight Timer app is an amazing global community of meditators, free of charge. There's a simple timer, a huge library of guided meditations, talks, and music and community groups where people ask for and lend support, write poetry together, share resources, etc. I use it every day and it really rocks!

I'm pretty psyched about Relaxation Story being published, because I've been saying for quite some time that I should do this. Well, one rainy evening in October I pressed record, figured out how to submit my audio to the app, and today when I sat down to meditate I was pleasantly surprised to see my image and title listed in the New Today category.

I first started using this guided body scan (you can read about and hear an earlier version in older blog post here) to help my little ones settle down and relax at nap-time and bed-time. The results felt really good to everyone, parents included, and the routine gave us a chance to learn about and begin practicing other forms of mindfulness. Hence this page was born!

I hope you enjoy this first submission and don't forget to follow the contributor (me!) "Mindful Kids," to be alerted within the app when Inoost something new.

Getting focused!

Happy Autumn!

I don't know about you, but this is my favorite season of the year, with beautiful leaves cascading down from the tall Philadelphia and South Jersey trees.  The rain that has lasted all day today is even enjoyable, especially if you get to stay inside and watch/listen from the comfort of home.  I am missing so much, Yuma and my amazing family and friends that live there.  I'm sending a little autumn spirit to you all!

I'm writing a little note to say that I am doing some life-organizing.  I plan to keep both this blog and Lifetime Learning: Building with Blocks to Building a Business.  The entries on that site are slightly more up-to-date, but I will post more in both places soon!

Stay tuned for new things in life and tell me what is happening with you!  Keep breathing and take some time for yourself every day.  This prescription really does have the potential to make everything better!
