Amazon Description:
In the rush, rush, rush of too-much-to-do-and-no-time-to-do-it, the all-important, nurturing aspects of parenthood can easily disappear. Jon Kabat-Zinn, author of Wherever You Go, There You Are and Myla Kabat-Zinn have collaborated on Everyday Blessings, a book that approaches parenting from the Zen Buddhist position of moment-to-moment awareness. It's a beautiful presentation and a thoughtful approach to mindful meditation that will help you slow down, enrich your life as a parent, and nourish the internal life of your children.

Before now I would have said that I didn't meditate and had no clue what “mindfulness” meant. However this book showed me that I do know and do understand I just don't heed what I know and understand. The authors very carefully walk a line of educating yet getting you to understand your own path to more mindful parenting. The anecdotes shared were diverse enough to touch probably any parent. Topics covered were pertinent to just about any situation a parent may face at any stage of parenting (newborn to adult children). I especially appreciated the Intentions at the end of the lesson as I think they will help me keep in mind this is something you have to practice each moment but that each moment is also a fresh start to bettering yourself as a parent and to improving a parent-child relationship.
