When cleaning at work, I rediscovered the tagged book & began reading it at lunch. Inside the book I found a card from @CoffeeK8 ! Thank you so much gorgeous this gift!

I've been practicing yoga for over 20 years. I did my yoga teacher training about 8 years ago. Meditation is a subject I am definitely familiar with, so the teachings of this book weren't new to me. However, this book was a much needed reminder of what I need to bring back into my life. The text is relatable, informative and entertaining. Each section is short so you can take in a nugget at a time. (Continued in comments)

It was a busy day today. I got a lot accomplished, but it feels so good to finally wind down with a good book and cup of tea. Good night Littens! 😴

My favorite mode of reading is a paperback book. However the Kindle app does have it's advantages. I didn't need to bring anything more than my phone to my son's dentist appointment. 🙂

"I've learned that, as human beings, we have to have emotions, but we don't need to be ruled by them."

After all this time? #HarryPotter and tea.

"As teachers, we have ample opportunity to show compassion in every hour of every class of every day. More than that, we have a special, even sacred, obligation to express compassion. Not only do we enlighten, but we are also expected to uplift those around us and to ease their struggles. In fact, showing grace and kindness to those around us can be one of our profession's greatest rewards."

There's nothing like reading with a #HarryPotter marathon on in the background 🙂⚡📚

A little professional reading over the break.

Wonderful collection of books! Love the Frida Kahlo nail polish, bath bomb & candy! Appreciate your generosity @CoffeeK8 😘

I‘m placing this book in a prominent position on my bookshelf at work, and sometime during the first week of school in September, when I begin to feel overwhelmed, I‘m going to open the book back up and begin to use his zen strategies to make my life feel more balanced and energized. He has fabulous ideas and insights, and well worth a read for all #teachersoflitsy - First #makemereadit book down, thanks @TheReadingMermaid

Hey all you educators out in LitsyLand, I wanted to share with you a positive message in these trying times. When I saw great teachers burning out, melting down, and leaving the profession, I knew I needed to do something so the same thing didn't happen to me. I started a blog called The Zen Teacher (www.thezenteacher.com.) and published this book. The book is aimed at teachers, but the techniques work for anyone. We all deserve peace. Dan

Sorry...I still love the concept, but sometimes my cynicism triumphs!😜

This book was written by my friend and colleague, Dan Tricarico. If you love teaching but sometimes find it overwhelming and hectic, you may find some ideas about how to decompress and bring more peace to your teaching day!
