Your turn for carpool. Dinner unmade. Orthodontist appointment started fifteen minutes ago. Cell phone vibrating. Conference call scheduled. Text from husband: co. dwnsizing again. who’s nxt? How can one more minute, and one more worry, be squeezed into your day?

Whether you’re an at-home mom or trying to juggle kids and a career, you know that as won- derful as it is, motherhood sometimes feels like a continual series of interruptions, your attention persistently pulled in different directions. If you’re like most moms, you need a moment’s peace more than anyone else. And, if you’re like most moms, you probably feel like a simple moment of stillness and calm focus is entirely beyond your reach.

In her second book, award-winning author Elizabeth Irvine offers practical, doable advice that can help you change your life. She can’t drive carpool for you or help with that conference call but she can show you ways to relax, breathing techniques, and mindfulness exercises that will help you change how you react to the chaos of your day.

Building simple routines that focus on your wellness, learning to recognize the gift of serendipity, even allowing yourself the “luxury” of the moment you are experiencing right now, are all skills that this book will teach you, making every day more rewarding, more manageable, and allowing your true self to shine.
