Being Mindful



After Monday's activity in class on September 28, I had never actually focused on my food before eating it. The point of this activity was to promote mindfulness in the simple things we do in our everyday lives. I am very grateful for food and often times appreciate the presentation it has. I went to a cafe this week and paid extra attention to the presentation it had. The cafe I went to takes pride in the presentation of their food and when I received it, the first thing I did was not eat it, instead, I took a few moments to appreciate the details the food had and the work they put into it.

The prompt for this week's post mentioned something great, "Being mindful of what we are grateful for can help us be more attuned to what's happening in and around lives." After realizing how much more I appreciate my food after taking just a few minutes to study it, encourages me to now be more mindful of other things in my life!

    I liked your example of being mindful of everyday things. I think mindfulness can help us slow down and appreciate things more, especially things like food from a restaurant. I usually don’t pay very much attention to things like that either. I also definitely agree that being more mindful can help us to understand different situations and be more aware of things and people around us.

My Final Post

This will be my final post! I have enjoyed writing my small blog entries this semester for this course... I do not post on my Instagram or Twitter really so I hadn't "posted" or "blogged" about something in years. I really enjoyed this activity though and as a future teacher, I would love to incorporate something like this into my future classroom! I believe that if I were to incorporate a blog project like this, it could perhaps be a space for kids to share their ideas freely without the judgment or fear that they may feel if they were to talk about it 'in-person' in a classroom. It has also been fun to get to read other's entries and to comment on their posts and if I were to use this idea, I would love getting to see how my students communicate and acknowledge each other's ideas, life, and perhaps even personal topics that they decide to share about.  Thank you all for reading visiting, reading, and living kind comments on my blog this semeste...

My First Time Visiting "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter"

I have always loved Harry Potter. I remember being little and my mom reading the books to me before going to bed. When I was a little bit older, I began reading them on my own. I remember when "The Half-Blood Prince" came out, I literally had my mom and my aunt take me to the theaters to see it close to ten times! Then when the final movie came out I went to the midnight premiere, that will be a night I will never forget!  The First time that I visited the theme park in Orlando, Flordia I was only twelve. I was with my family and I walked in specifically with my mom and aunt. As a twelve-year-old at the time, I was in such shock! It was such a crazy thing for me to be experiencing. Now it has become something that I look forward to visiting each year! Every year since then in the month of October I have gone. Because of COVID this year I will not be going around the time when I usually always go. I was looking over many pictures I have of the Harry Potter World there at Unive...

The Playlist of My Life

The Playlist of My Life I was recently thinking about things that inspire me in life. Music is such a big part of my life and because I'm always listening to it, I guess I never truly realized how big of a part it plays in my actual creative decisions and inspiration. I was inspired by Teen Vogue's "The Playlist of My Life" videos ( YouTube playlist link here ) where music artists will share the playlist of their lives. It took me quite a while to condense a playlist down of all my favorite songs, and my final playlist is about 10ish songs longer than the one's YouTube (ooofff)! The vibe of the playlist is certainly all over the place, but I was not making the playlist for the sound, but for the special sentiment it has to me. Each of the songs that I have incorporated on this playlist holds a special place in my heart, and many of them have been in my life for years now.  I have made "all-time favorite" playlists but nothing that has been this condensed...
