Last fall, I made it a priority to meditate in the late afternoons. I found that mindful meditation really helped center me and I felt focused for the rest of the day. My goal was to meditate daily, but sometimes life got in the way. Flash forward to the winter holidays and meditation took a back seat. I realized that in the new year, I needed to get back on track and reading Move, Rest, Recover: A Workbook – Your Practical Guide to Balancing … [Read more...]

Nightbitch_10887_1

Nightbitch is a dark comedy that centers on motherhood. In fact, watching the movie reminded me of the quote, “The days are long, but the years are short.” The film is based on the award-winning book Nightbitch written by Rachel Yoder. Writer-director Marielle Heller (A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, Can You Ever Forgive Me?) adapted the book to the big screen. A woman (Amy Adams) pauses her career to be a stay-at-home mom, but … [Read more...]
