Living, Teaching, and Creating Courageously

I am a teacher and artist who had two incredible opportunities in 2010-- attending a mindfulness workshop and a Courage to Teach Institute. Both experiences were reaffirming for me, personally and professionally. I discovered so many of us involved in the courage work and in mindfulness work are artists, poets, writers, and creators. This blog is a place to explore ideas around mindfulness-- using the arts of photography, writing, and teaching-- to inspire thinking and promote discussions.

Grace Happens

Driving to work on Friday, I was feeling very stressed out and anxious. Suddenly, I noticed a bumper sticker on the gray Honda Accord driving in front of me: Grace Happens. Instantly I began conjuring up pretty pictures, graceful pictures, that both myself and my friend Grace have taken. Little did the owner of that car know, but I felt much more relaxed during the rest of my drive while I tailed behind that bumper sticker. I've often seen the opposite phrase but never this one. I thank the owner of that car for reminding me of that simple fact: Grace Happens. Here are some pictures that remind me of just that! Enjoy!
