It has been quite a while since I have done a book review, and I was sent a copy of Szen Zone in exchange for my honest review. I have been looking forward to writing this post, and the life got in the way. From Monday evening until today at 1pm I had a terrible migraine headache, …
As many of you probably know, my college schedule for the past two years has been anything but calm. Simply put, most of my days involve a multitude of sticky notes and lists about meetings, tasks, appointment times, and other to-do list items.

As you may know, I have been practicing and studying meditation regularly for the past few weeks. Already I have learned so much from the practice that has benefitted my daily life this semester.

Today marks one year of The Wise Willow, and as I sit here writing this post my heart is filled with joy as I remember the journey that I have been on. One year ago I decided to press the button that has changed my life. I launched my blog with a vision of sharing …
