What is the conversation you have with yourself during challenging moments? Do you notice, do you APPRECIATE your own grit and grace, the effort you are making every day – some days - just to get through the day?

“Allow the dialogue within the mind to grow friendlier, and quiet. Shift out of inner criticism and life suddenly looks very different.” – Danna Faulds.

After having sat in the seat for many years of not appreciating myself or my efforts –now I truly want my journey to shine a light on…a new path forward for all of us.

A path of love, kindness, compassion, forgiveness, joy, celebration, non-judgment, gratitude…for myself and towards others…a path of APPRECIATE…APPRECIATING EVERY MOMENT.

And don’t forget!

My author friend, Deb Mortensen, just published her first children’s book called Not Me!

Joshua Bentley is excited for his first day at B.A. Friend Elementary School. But from the minute school starts to the sound of the last bell, Joshua makes a lot of mistakes. Joshua wants to fess up, but there’s a little “pal” on his shoulder that speaks up before Joshua can say anything.

I’m looking forward to my copy. Available TODAY on Amazon in hardcover, paperback and ebook!

Hello everyone. I am sharing these special new releases! Please consider purchasing these beautiful children’s picture books by my fellow authors and friends. I am so grateful to know each one! 🙏🏽💜

1. Amos The Famous - A magical book written by Karen Berglund. With humor, rhymes, and illustrations which flow beautifully, we enter the magical world of Amos and learn about cooperation, friendship, social graces, and the magic of Please and Thank You! 🪄🪄

2. Poppy and Daisy’s Big Adventure, written by Martha C. McNeil.
Based on the true story of Poppy and Daisy, we learn about Chincoteague Ponies, DreamPower Horsemanship, and the incredible healing power of equine-assisted therapy. We learn to greet our emotions and ourselves with kindness when we connect with these amazing horses.
The Ilustrations are just beautiful!!! 💜💜

3. CELESTE IS A STAR, written by C.Park. This lovely story allows us to face our fears, believe in ourself, and remember who we truly are. Celeste shows us when we trust the light within, we can do brave things!

During this month my annual practice is to focus on Gratitude, and you may remember, it was the theme for November 2023. I also chose to post my daily gratitude practice in my journal! We are still practicing Gratitude - I invite you to join me as we APPRECIATE Gratitude – to cultivate an appreciation for a daily Gratitude practice.

A special announcement—I warmly invite you to be part of Mindful in Practice's FIRST EVER IN PERSON Gather in Gratitude event—an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and your community in a truly meaningful way. Connect with peace, healing, and powerful practices that help you cultivate gratitude and wellness, surrounded by others who share the same intention.

And the best part? 100% of your registration fee goes directly to support the Houston Food Bank and the Houston SPCA. By joining us, you’ll be providing meals to families in need and offering essential care for animals across our community.
Together, let’s embrace gratitude, support each other, and spread kindness where it’s needed most. Don’t miss this chance to make a real difference—inside and out.
