So far I think it is fantastic! I have a lot of internal struggles while trying to stay mindful, such as letting thoughts come and go vs dwelling on a subject matter- but hopefully as we get further indepth I will be able to tame these distractions a bit better.

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
