“Be in the moment”…so the zen-like mantra goes. But for many of my clients I realize this can be a huge stretch from the zainy, stressed-out, overly scheduled, too much caffeine, not enough sleep, lifestyle.

At long last… my pen and paper writing is transformed to a keyboard and my butterfly covered journal has now morphed into a blog! Here I am!
