Mindful Miles
Movement. Joy. Reflection.

On a simple walk with my daughters today, we witnessed a scene that stopped us right in our tracks and brought the biggest, quietest smile to my face. There, side-by-side on the pavement, were a hawk and a pigeon. Not flying above, not locked in a chase, but walking along together, almost like two neighbours…

Well, dear friends, December is officially here, and I’m carrying that gentle stillness from my midnight reflection (the one about the bed and the hot water bottle!) right into the start of the month. That cozy moment—that deep, quiet breath of gratitude—is the very feeling we need to tuck into our pockets and keep safe.…

It was a classic, rainy December day, and as I picked the girls up from school, we managed to catch our bus right on time. They rushed up the steps and immediately claimed their favorite seats. The windows were covered in so much mist we could hardly see where we were going—I figured we’d have…

December 1st. It’s past midnight, and I’m sharing this not from a park bench as I often do, but from the warmth of my own bed, accompanied by a faithful hot water bottle. The shift in setting brings a shift in reflection. I find myself reminiscing about my earliest Christmas memories, and what remains truly…

Today, the afternoon felt heavy. My girls noticed it too, and instead of staying indoors, they suggested we swap the slump for a spontaneous Mindful Mile—a deliberate, uphill walk to a spot we’d never explored before. It was a choice to move the mood. The reward for choosing movement over stagnation came as we paused…

The moment the first drops of rain hit the pavement, our walking rhythm shattered. It wasn’t just rain; it was the premature end of a cherished routine, forcing us to abandon the path for the sterile safety of the bus shed. My girls were instantly deflated. We stood there, caged by the drizzle, watching the…

The calendar is a powerful thing, isn’t it? It reminds me that we’re standing right on the edge—one short month to the end of the year, and just one post to go until the triple-digit milestone of Post 100. As I walked this morning, thinking about that finish line, I started laughing about resolutions. We…

November welcomed me this morning with a profound, clean clarity. It was a crisp, sharp sensation, but one that felt deeply loving and invigorating, urging me out of the door and into the air. Out there, I discovered, there’s a subtle, almost quiet joy to the November mile. It feels different. The sun hangs low,…

My November miles started with a smile 😊 The chilly air has truly settled in, making the duvet a fortress I wasn’t ready to leave. Tucked deep under the covers this morning, I suddenly felt a wave of warmth—a little body pressing close. Peeking from under the duvet, I saw my son had come to…
