Welcome to Left Brain Buddha! (4)

Do you struggle with “staying in the present moment”?

Do you feel like your brain has WAY TOO MANY TABS OPEN?

Do you sometimes think you’re TOO BUSY to be mindful?

Then Left Brain Buddha is the site for you! We know mindfulness and meditation are good for usBut sometimes our type-A, left-brain, analytical activity gets in the way of our actual practice of mindfulness. It’s such a challenge!

And that’s why I started this website!

So if you’re new, grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and read about mindful, joyful, and thought-full living and parenting {taking notes is optional, left-brain types!}. Relax and stay awhile! 🙂 I am delighted you are here.
