“There is no problem with your mind wandering; that's the human mind doing what it does 47 percent of the time. The most important moment in mindfulness practice is the moment *after* the distraction. What do you do with it? What attitude do you have toward your mind? [...] When we begin to practice mindfulness, our minds are untrained, but that's no reason to judge them harshly. We can just smile and recognize them as untrained, not judge them as bad or lazy or weak.”
Christopher Willard, Growing Up Mindful: Essential Practices to Help Children, Teens, and Families Find Balance, Calm, and Resilience

“The light indicating the bathroom is occupied clicks off and the fabulous Gigi Fandone saunters back to stage side.
A heavy smell follows her.
It's a smell much like the trenches in the zoo, but worse.
It's a smell much like Detroit's septic system, but worse.
It's a smell much like a diaper disposal truck, but worse.”
Christopher Willard, Garbage Head

“The revolution of success turned into ugly access.”
Christopher Willard, Garbage Head
