What a gift! This is a quote from my cute mom, and it’s actually genius...Being kind, or, as researchers call it, “pro-social behavior,” reduces stress, improves life satisfaction, mood, physical health, longevity, and overall well-being! Plus, it just feels good! What kind things can we all do today?! #kindness #kindnessmatters #bekind #loveoneanother❤️ #mindfulness #be #seekjoy #intentionalliving https://www.instagram.com/p/CBs0Etclni2/?igshid=1kabd4r98wt3g

Joy on a plate! Husband-made sourdough bread, heart-friend-made strawberry jam. What a delight! (I didn’t take pictures of the other five helpings!!!) This was a great gratitude practice today. I TRY to be mindful of everything I eat ge hi how to me means being grateful and experiencing the flavors and textures and smells), but today’s heightened experience of joy reminded me what happens when I pay more attention-and get more joy out of every bite! Speaking of joy on a plate, I’m teaching a single-session online weight-loss class on June 29, at 4pm CST. For info, check out my website (link above) and head to “New Classes, Retreats, & Important Stuff.” You can sign up there! I look forward to sharing how NEVER to “first” again!!! #sourdough #weightloss #eatwhatyoulove #joy #gratitude #mindset #strawberryjam https://www.instagram.com/p/CBbYkeulW-T/?igshid=19haiwc0s04kl

Goodnight, Moon... https://www.instagram.com/p/CBKcPjPlYh4/?igshid=7mc0mdrtbebh

This week I did a video for my darling mom’s birthday, and found TONS of pics of my sweet sister, Katy. Continuing in her ever-sweet ways, she had a birthday luncheon for Mom, inviting just enough of her girlfriends that they could be distance-responsible, but still giggle. I wish I could have been there, and am so very grateful to have a sister who could give Martha Stewart a few lessons in entertaining ! #grateful #sister #sisters #howdigetsolucky #happybirthdaymom https://www.instagram.com/p/CBHZvKPF3_o/?igshid=11nxa8bbwg9r7

Radical Gratitude...that’s my practice today. I took a morning walk w a beautiful friend, (a joy!) and felt nature bless me with every step! Just look at this sweet steam near my home, the magic-seeming mushrooms that sprung suddenly in my garden, and my new lemon placemats w crisp, white napkins (an appreciated gift!) Everywhere I look: something to be grateful for. No big changes on the outside...all this Joy was actually an inside job! #grateful #gratitude #mindset #mindshift #joyeverywhere #grace #innerpeace #innerjoy #takeawalk #nature #mushrooms #beauty #attitudeiseverything #peacewithin https://www.instagram.com/p/CA0vd4tlVC0/?igshid=k52arrjte1fr

This is one of the best COVID-coping tools I can share: to be in the middle of whatever it is you are doing right here, right now. “Uncertainty” might be the most-used word of 2020, but we don’t HAVE TO let the uncertainty undo us! If we take each moment, and give our attention to THAT, stress of not-knowing will have a hard time finding it’s way to our brain (and by the way, we only ever THINK we know what’s going to happen!) So, whatever you’re in the middle of, give it all your attention! Your sourdough bread will be more delicious. Cleaning your house will be less drudge-y, that Zoom call will be less fatiguing, and those chocolate chip cookies will be filled with more joy and less guilt! #mindfulness #mindset #inthemoment #innerpeace #calm #covidstressrelief #joyinthejourney #beherenow #thepowerofnow #zen #loveyourself #change #changeyourmindset #healyourself #quotesdaily #freshstart #emotionalintelligence #mindsetiseverything #powerofpositivity #happinessishere #innerwork #growth #growthmindset #mindbodysoul #newbeginnings #achieveyourgoals #designalifeyoulove #positivelife https://www.instagram.com/p/CAso9NSlXfc/?igshid=niqs0etk7h4z

Ever see a string of watermelons? Me, neither, so I had to share! #watermelon #organic #organicgardening #fruit #moretocome #grateful #delicious https://www.instagram.com/p/CArUGAuFaYA/?igshid=c9unbrhaidc

Have you ever had chive blossoms in a salad? I HIGHLY recommend them! Not only are they beautiful, but they have a great onion-esque taste, and all you need is a pair of scissors—snip, snip! No tears involved! Plus, aren’t they so pretty to look at, pre-salad?! #flowers #chive #chiveblossoms #organic #organicgardening #nature #inmybackyard #grateful #delicious #flowersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CAoUyLglfCB/?igshid=1g1yhhobrp4kt

GOtD: Good morning! First I meditated outside, accompanied by the birds, and then I witnessed all this beauty in my back yard (thanks to my husband-gardener!).

And these are how my day started! I’d never actually STARED into a peony before. It was a little surprising. The sturdy stem and smooth outer petals give absolutely no indication of the fluffy mayhem unfolding inside! Pretty much a miracle, as were the rest of these pics: my breakfast totally made by my husband—and I DO MEAN MADE! He made the bread, he made the hummus, he grew the cucumbers! Pretty spectacular. And then there’s my champagne grape crop. Yep. That’s all the squirrels saved me, but still, pretty beautiful, aren’t they? #peonies #peony #cucumbersforbreakfast #sourdoughtoast #champagnegrapes #howdigetsolucky #grateful #backyardmiracles https://www.instagram.com/p/CAZFsZwlWte/?igshid=1k9hpofm62zxh

GOTD: INSPIRATION! Sourdough seemed too hard, so I’m trying my luck at skate boarding, thanks to inspiration from my sons! And since I couldn’t learn AND get a pic, I offer you these fine skateboarding examples...I mean, if THEY can, I can, right? (Though my significant protective gear will probably limit how much air I get 😆) #inspirationonwheels #inspiring #ithinkican #skateboardingisfun #grateful https://www.instagram.com/p/CAMZV_lF2jR/?igshid=cujyzgc37b26

And now look how big my neighbors are getting! #neighbors #babybirds #grateful #nature https://www.instagram.com/p/CAJpRE6lS8l/?igshid=1mi40q6jd4iii

GOTD: what a great Mother’s Day this was! Hiking with my boys, beautiful gardenias from my beautiful neighbor, finally meeting our newest neighbors (the baby birds in the best outside our kitchen!), and, I’d course now, hot fresh sourdough slathered with butter for breakfast! So grateful! #hikinginaustin #sourdough #gardenias #babybirds #grateful https://www.instagram.com/p/CAC-e9blyzL/?igshid=7qr1sidubw6p

What a gift! My husband is a great cook (thanks for a delish dinner tonight!) AND he is now a great sourdough baker!!! Delish!!!! #sourdough #grateful #organicbread #passthebutter #delicious https://www.instagram.com/p/B_jBVPnliBe/?igshid=1gb8uzf2qrgtx
