April Book Club
The moment you all have been waiting for- our read for the month of April will be Breathe, Mama, Breathe by Shonda Moralis!
This literary work has been coined a “Mom Must Read” by Parents; received The National Parenting Product Award (NAPPA) and is easy to follow-affording Moms the resources needed to find daily opportunities to reset and refocus with mindfulness!
Moms can feel as if they are sprinting through life, crashing onto the pillow at day's end only to start again the next morning. In Breathe, Mama, Breathe, psychotherapist Shonda Moralis outlines the benefits of daily meditation and shows moms how to do it--in just five minutes! Plus, she shares over 60 "mindful breaks" that will help moms tune into their own well-being (along with everyone else's):
Eat a mindful breakfast--with no phone, TV, or newspaper!
Cuddle your child and take three deep breaths together.
Give yourself a mindful-mommy high five--because moms can use positive reinforcement, too.
Every mom—whether caring for a new baby, an over scheduled grade-schoole, or an angsty teen—can become a mindful mama! I am up for the challenge, how about you?
