I’ve been away from the blog for a while as family life has been a bit all-consuming! So, I thought I’d return with enthusiasm and positivity! As such, let me share with you my first meditation of 2020 – an ink meditation. Art is a fantastic way to expand your meditation practice and step outside […]
