Darkness falls too early now

Still so much to do

Mindful Moments

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."  ~Robert Frost

What road did you travel this summer? Did you make time to diverge from the usual to find the extraordinary in the ordinary? Mindfulness is about stepping off the well traveled road every once in a while to notice life as it unfolds in the present moment and not in the rearview mirror.  I am grateful for these moments, which cannot be planned or anticipated but simply appear when one slows down to the speed of life. 

A few glimpses of my summer mindful moments are represented in the pictures below. I invite each of you to share reflections of your summer mindful moments, moments when the ordinary became the extraordinary, through photos, poems, or prose with my blogging community.  Please email me your submissions and I will share them in future blog posts.
