Review:
When I mention mindfulness to Miss Grace, generally I'll get eye rolling and lots of "I'm not gonna',as past books we've looked at have either had too adult of exercises, or too juvenile ones. This book however walks the perfect line of working for tweens through adults with ease! By grabbing an area that she has issues with, I would read the SHORT section with her, and go over the exercise with her. She loved that they were SHORT and simple- under 5 minutes usually- and worked! I have seen a positive result in how she sees not only herself, but others around her, and how she is better able to focus! If stress is in your life, this book might just be the thing you need to make every morning better!
