Intention transforms our being. When our mind and body act as one, each muscle is imbued with intuitive tenderness and we’re available to relay the depth of our love for another. If you’re lucky enough to be near mom this Mothers’ Day, delight in your ability to hug her.

Spring is upon us. It’s time to come out of our winter sluggishness and get moving! Find your closest farm, farmer's market or CSA. What better way to shop mindfully than close to nature and the source? The adventure is an ideal family outing. Everyone can enjoy nutritious, beautiful produce that delights the senses while young ones learn how to shop mindfully and develop healthy eating habits.

My 13 year old came home from school one day frustrated. Over the kitchen table he told me of his troubles but I was miles away. My mind raced between thoughts of my three children, husband and career.

Last month I was in the city of my birth, New Orleans, Louisiana. Everywhere were preparations for Mardi Gras celebrations, which included many decadent and delicious foods like "king cakes", pralines and bananas Foster. I was reminded of my youth and the purpose of Fat Tuesday: to have one last fling before lent commences the next day.

I invited a dear friend of mine, Susan Guillory, to contribute a blog on mindful eating. Susan is a mover and shaker in the whole foods movement. In the 1970s, she co-founded Bread & Circus, a whole foods market chain in the Boston area with her former husband, Anthony Harnett. The Bread & Circus stores were later acquired by Whole Foods. In conjunction with the stores Susan taught healthy cooking for 22 years.

"We are the life force power of the universe with manual dexterity and two cognitive minds. We have the power to choose moment by moment who and how we want to be in the world. Right here right now I can step into the consciousness of my right hemisphere, where – we are - I am - the life-force power of the universe. I am the life force power of the 50 trillion beautiful molecular geniuses that make up my form, at one with all that is. Or, I can choose to step into the consciousness of my left hemisphere – where I become a single individual, a solid separate from the flow" - Jill Bolte Taylor

On Saturday, December 14th, the day after twenty-year-old Adam Lanza opened fire in Sandy Hook Elementary School killing 27 people, Buddhist monk and Newtown native, Brother Phap Luu, wrote this letter to Adam. I share it with you now as an honest, poignant, inspiring, loving and hopeful reminder that we are one - part of a great human family. Each of us can contribute, in our daily lives, to healing our community. Here Br. Phap Luu exemplifies the compassion that is urgently needed around the world.
