Since Laura’s concussion in the Fall, we have been studying ways of healing the brain. She has recovered well, however, still experiences the occasional symptom. Our research has led us to important life lessons applicable to everyone regardless of injury. Mindfulness is a popular topic in today’s society, something we are just starting to examine and very much enjoying.The jist of our research has encouraged us to be present where we are; to live in the moment. To leave our cell phones at the front door and engage with our children, providing them our 100% attention, providing each other undivided attention as well. So often, we live for what’s coming, the future tasks, the to-do lists and we forget to simply breathe and live completely within the moment. (picture by Mindah-Lee Kumar)
