Maybe well-stitched words can bea song. Is there anything more beautifulthan the making of harmony?No matter carrying sadness, or joy,it is the carryingthat makes us strong.-Marjorie MooreheadFind out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos", and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos".
