In the Take a Moment series I encourage you to take a moment for memory keeping and mindfulness. I add in some randomness, share new things I’m learning, and let you know about interesting things I find along the way. Enjoy!
A powerful piece from This American Life on some traditionally taboo topics.
I need to get some volunteering done. This inspires me to look into foster care advocacy. I’d love to help these kids make some scrapbook albums.
A mindful approach to procrastination (from my alma mater) helped me work through some of my blogging insecurity.
A bookmark for book lovers for your reading challenge. How is yours going by the way? I’m a little behind…
On practicing radical self-care. No pedicures required.
Interview with the best high school AP Calculus teacher on the planet (mine!) He always believed in me, even more than I believed in myself.
A new photo & words app from Olya Schmidt and friends.
#BeEmotionalInsideOut and #SpreadJoy with Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls.
SO excited for this movie by the way. Already feeling ALL the feelings.
I’m backing this cool new kickstarter project that reminds us to be mindful in a fun way.
Only two days left to sponsor clean water wells in Uganda through Mindful in May. I’ve missed a couple days here and there but have so enjoyed the inspiration this month. It only takes $35 or whatever you can do. Click here to help me reach $200!
And finally Take a Moment for some desktop wallpaper inspiration. As part of this series I’m pairing a quote, curated from my Wise Words board on Pinterest, with one of the amazing images from unsplash. Click the image above, then right click to save it to your computer and use it as your desktop wallpaper.
Have a great weekend! Thank you for taking a moment with me.
This is a great round up! Thanks for including my radical self care post. And I’m really looking forward to that movie, too! The previews have been awesome.
You are so welcome. I loved your take on stepping back to really nurture your heart and mind instead of focusing on an activity that is just a temp fix (though of course those can be helpful too sometimes =) Thanks for reading!
