What would happen if you paused, just for a moment, and sat in stillness with yourself? If you took a moment to catch your breath, to use your imagination, or to notice something beautiful in your surroundings? Life can be chaotic, busy, and stressful, but swirling around in the whirlwind with you are moments of calm, moments of beauty, moments of gratitude. You just have to slow down for a moment long enough to catch them. This is that moment. A Mindful Moment.
