I know, I know…it’s been way too long. But I’m back! It’s not like I haven’t been practicing mindfulness the past month and a half…just that I haven’t been mindful about posting anything. Which is why I’m here again and treating you to a pic of my new tattoo. (My pal Naz designed it, and Andrew took the photo.)

Peace is Every Step is the name of my fave book by Thich Nhat Hanh, someone I’ve learned a ton from. He’s kind of my mindfulness go-to-guy. Check him out, and I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Why did I get the phrase tattooed on my body? Because I need all the help I can get lately to remember that I have a choice, in every moment, about how I want to experience life. I’m trying really hard to get into a regular meditation practice and to be thoughtful in my day-to-day approach to work, relationships, driving…everything! And I’m always writing reminders on my hand, which makes my friends giggle. So it makes sense that I would write the ultimate reminder in the most ultimate way possible: permanently.
