034 | Present to the Moment

 

This is my morning meditation. When I need an exercise in staying present to the moment, this is a good one. ⁣ ⁣ I have so many memories of my mom standing over the stove stirring batch after batch of caramels during Advent and Christmas. For her it was an act of love as her caramels were much anticipated Christmas gifts to friends and family. ⁣ ⁣

I’m getting a late start on making caramels this year, but is it ever to late to start? As I stand at the stove stirring meditatively, I’m remembering my mom, her love and all the people she touched with her kindness and care over the years. I’m also praying for the ones who will receive these caramels as my gift of love.⁣ ⁣

What is a practice or activity that helps you stay present in the moment?⁣
