Whether you’re a sports fan or not, this Comeback story is inspiring. And boy is she showing the world that we can shift our mindset, do hard things, and enjoy what we are doing more because of it.

Congrats on your Gold, but more importantly, great work on taking care of you and being such a great example to all those watching. You’ve figured something out that most haven’t. Life is hard and if approached skillfully, you can soak up every moment of it with joy and presence.

Start close in to your own heart. That’s the secret. Loving ourselves helps us to radiate love out into the world.

Name your self love below. I’ll start. After a week of intense Self Compassion training, I slept in my own bed last night, slept in, and made sure I didn’t have a single thing on my calendar today. Such a rare gift!

Ever feel a little like a duck? On the surface, appearing calm and collected, yet just under, paddling for your life to keep your head above water?

As I wrap up my Mindful Self-Compassion Intense Intensive Teacher Training this week (more on this to come soon!), I took a contemplative walk to reflect and happened upon this new friend. And I saw them differently today than I ever have before. And then the realization hit. The ducks haven’t changed, how I see things has.

If you can relate at all to the duck, I see you. If you’d like to rest your weary legs (and heart), I’ve got you.

Honored to be offering this in Mt. Vernon, WA!

Please see full details at www.zenrocks.net. Come join our small group and cultivate a safe space free of judgment with lots of learning and zen.

When the world gets loud, anchoring ourselves and finding moments of calm becomes even more essential. We’d love to share space with you!

Nikki Dvorak Larsen, one of our clinic supervisors and a graduate of MWAI, is offering an 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) series this spring.

MBSR is the most well-researched mindfulness program out there. It began over 50 years ago at the University of Massachusetts and is still taught there today. People often turn to MBSR for support with stress, anxiety, chronic pain, sleep, ADHD, mood, and overall wellbeing.

The series runs Mondays from February 16 through April 6, 2026, meeting from 3:00–5:30 PM at MWAI.

All are welcome, and no prior mindfulness experience is needed. Whether you’re brand new or returning to practice, this is a supportive, approachable way to build skills while fostering connection and community.

I did 3 things this week I never would’ve imagined…

1. I am wrapping up guiding my first 5 day Silent Meditation Retreat.
2. I bought my first pair of crocs in anticipation of retreat (Part 2 of 2) and I love them
3. I’m spending my birthday today in silence in a room of people who have zero idea it’s my birthday and there’s not really anywhere else I’d rather be (if only my hubs was at retreat with me, it would be really perfect!).

So, to celebrate, I’m sharing some of my favorite things I’ve come across while I wandered the grounds this week. Enjoy! And spend some contemplative time with yourself. It’s magic ♥️

Now how do you feel? Lighter? Calmer? Joyful? Challenged?

Now imagine if you gave yourself 2.5 hours of intentional time a week for the next 8 weeks rather than just a few seconds. Life changing!

Join us! Multiple class options with 1 starting a week from today. Link in bio.
