So Mindful Monday was a miss again. Primarily because I landed in the ER with some gallbladder issues. Waiting on more appointments and tests to know what is going on. There may be need for me to cancel or reschedule sessions while I get myself sorted out. Your patience is appreciated! I’ll reach out if your session will be impacted. Thank you!!

Mindful Monday was a miss...but I found something good to share today...feels like it was supposed to happen that way. If it hasn't caught your attention yet, go to the "Walk for Peace" FB page. What I share below is from a post they made just a little bit ago. Remember, despite all the chaos of our collective time and our individual days, what peace may be found in silence.

✍️ Peace on the Silent Road - Sometimes, the road we walk is not lined with crowds or filled with welcoming voices. Sometimes, it is just us, the silence, and the path ahead.

Yesterday, we walked on a red clay road—wet from recent rain, muddy beneath our feet, with no one watching, no one waiting to greet us. Just quiet earth and open sky.
But even there, especially there, peace was still shining.

Because peace does not depend on applause or recognition. It does not require witnesses or perfect conditions. It does not fade when the road becomes difficult or when we walk alone through the mud.
Peace walks with us in the silent moments just as much as in the celebrated ones. It is there in the steady rhythm of our steps, in the breath we take while navigating slippery ground, in the choice to keep moving forward even when no one is watching.

The world may not always see our journey. The path may not always be smooth or clear. But the work of cultivating peace continues—in the quiet, in the challenge, in the simple act of placing one foot in front of the other, again and again.

Yesterday’s muddy road told us this: peace is not about where we walk or who sees us walking. It is about what we carry inside, what we nurture within ourselves, what we choose to be regardless of circumstances.

So we keep walking. Through mud and sunshine, through crowds and solitude, through roads that are easy and roads that test us. Because peace is not conditional. It is a choice. And it shines brightest not when everything is perfect, but when we choose to carry it forward anyway.

May you and all beings be well, happy, and at peace.

The last Mindful Monday of 2025 is brought to you from, unfortunately, the hospital where I sit with my father while he awaits gallbladder surgery. An unwelcomed Christmas present for him and our family. Please send positive vibes for him and his surgical team! Feel free to read the below post as many times as needed before you cross the threshold into 2026. I know I will!!

It is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of my mentor, John F Barnes, PT. John taught me all I know about myofascial release and gave me the gift that I share with each one of my clients every day. Without him and his courageous instruction I wouldn't be the healer I am today. If you read this post, please take a moment of silence for him and the Myofascial Release community. We will miss him deeply.

Mindful Monday is going to play a little game today. Instead of "Where's Waldo" it's "Where's Heather!!" I just repeated the John F Barnes Cervical Thoracic course in Wilmington this weekend. Always so good to refresh and remember these amazing techniques! If you have unanswered pain, MFR holds your answers!

Mindful Monday is going to show off today by getting something posted before lunch. No small feat considering the chaos this time of year, which makes this particular post the perfect fit. We all tend to be a little more on edge as the year comes to a close. Have a blessed week everyone!
