Tiny gifts, big presence
It's something to be able to offer a piece of ourselves to others in our communities. I chair the PTA wellness committee at my daughter's school. Our weekly cafe meetings have shifted to my home, where we begin with a brief mindful moment. Just five to ten minutes to ground ourselves and set an intention. Yoga mats and pillows down, the combination of a centering mint candle and lavender diffuser is a tiny gift we give to each other in the new year. -- mexican chocolate & plum ginger teas and a toasty taste of champorado for my momma friends who inspire who carry our school community we converse and create we carry each other a tiny moment to root, to breathe to be together we offer our tiny gifts that make for big presence this new year's hopeful wellness
