What if mindfulness looked like creating?

At One Stitch At A Time, we’ll explore how simple handwork can become a practice of presence. As we knit, crochet, or embroider, we’ll slow down together, notice the rhythm of each stitch, and create space for calm amidst the busyness of life.

This workshop is for anyone seeking a gentler pace and a meaningful way to reconnect with themselves.

“Each morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.” —Buddha

I have been reflecting on these words. In May, during the Vesak celebration I was blessed to visit our local Buddhist temples and gather with community to chant, share a meal, and be in the presence of Buddha Nature – the goodness that resides within each one, waiting to be felt and lived.

There will be no Thankful Tuesday session on June 2, but we invite you to continue your practice on your own this week.

Mindfulness doesn’t only happen when we gather—it can be found in a quiet moment, a few intentional breaths, or a brief pause in the middle of a busy day.

Today, consider taking a few minutes to:
• Sit comfortably and notice your breath
• Reflect on something you’re grateful for
• Allow yourself a moment of stillness without needing to accomplish anything

We’ll resume our live group meditation on Tuesday, June 9th at 12 PM CT and look forward to practicing together again soon.

Until then, may you find moments of gratitude and presence wherever you are.

When I pick up “Mama, I Will Send You a Purple Flower” I am reminded why I wrote it in the first place. 💜🐾

This story began with a rescue dog named Cuddles and the extraordinary bond we shared for 13.8 years. What started as a tribute to her became something much bigger—a collection of lessons about patience, acceptance, kindness, gratitude, and love.

As a psychiatrist, mindfulness teacher, and dog mom, I wanted to create a book that could offer comfort, hope, and reflection for readers of all ages.
If you haven’t discovered it yet, I’d love for you to meet Cuddles and learn the 13.8 mindful lessons she taught me.

As we move through the rest of this month, may a mindful minute be your guide.

May you be safe and free from harm,

May you be happy and find moments of joy,

May you be healthy and strong,

May you be at ease and free from suffering.

May we continue walking gently and slowly on this path of mindfulness together.

We spend so much of life rushing from one thing to the next.

One Stitch At A Time is an opportunity to pause.

Through mindful stitching and gentle creative practice, we’ll explore how repetitive motion can quiet the mind, regulate the nervous system, and bring us back into the present moment.

You don’t need to be advanced.
You don’t even need to finish anything.

Just come willing to slow down.

Here we are together…

Nearing the end of May 2026…

As I reflect on the mindful minutes embraced thus far, I notice how my practice continues to deepen and inform me…

I am informed of the imperfections, the distractions, the restlessness…

I am informed of ease, patience, guidance, compassion…

I am reminded to stay with the breath…breathing in…breathing out…

I am reminded of being held…sustained…embraced…

In the midst of it all…

There is kindness…love…beauty…
