There are still lots of opportunities this summer to grab a good book, perhaps not necessarily a page-turner, but a book that you may read a few pages and then close to observe, savor and digest the thoughts it suggests.  We often think that mindfulness comes from observing the outside world, but it is also about noticing one's inner landscape; the one that comes alive when we are challenged, persuaded, soothed, emboldened or enlightened through the words of an author viewing the world from a different vantage point. During the month of August, I invite you to crack open a book and observe your inner landscape. 

Wishing you a mindful month,
