Since 2010, I have endeavored to be a measured voice in exploring what mindfulness is — and isn’t — and how its practice might benefit individuals, families, organizations, communities, and our wider world. I have deeply believed in every human being’s potential to cultivate a kind, clear presence as a powerful foundation for healing, living, and thriving.

 

It is time to bring this wonderful and demanding era of my professional life to a gentle completion. At the end of this year, I will be closing Asheville Mindful Living, LLC. 

 

In 2026, I’ll be taking time to deepen my own practice of meditation, listening, and spirituality. I don’t yet know what 2027 will bring — perhaps a return to teaching, therapy, or coaching… or perhaps a quieter life of retirement. For now, the invitation is simply to slow down and listen more deeply. As my beloved Mister Rogers said, "Often when you think you’re at the end of something you’re at the beginning of something else." 

 

Thank you for your practice — for the kindness, integrity, and energy you’ve brought to our shared journey. Living mindfully each day, in simple and profound ways, continues this work far beyond any classroom.

​

If you’d like to say good-bye, stay in touch or simply share a story with me, I’d welcome that very much!
