As I prepare to launch and gather content, I thought I would provide monthly inspirations and stories to keep you going.  With Pause is about creating space, cultivating compassion, showing up and being seen.

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”   -Viktor E. Frankl

One of my favorite quotes and a great visual from Mindful Schools to go with it.  I believe in the power of choice, yet I find many people feel they have no choice.  My hope is to help others create a space in their lives for that choice and be with the choice.  What lies within the choice is an opportunity for change, but having a choice doesn’t always mean it is a desired choice.  It may just be the path to get where you desire.

Without Mindfulness:  Stimulus → Reaction

With Mindfulness:  Stimulus → Mindfulness → Response
