25.01.2022 Yaama, Welcome to Mindfulness Monday with Futures Mentor Charlie. ______... Sometimes throughout our life, we forget who we really are. We let life’s circumstances take our smile away and dull our sparkle. We forget that we are perfect and no matter what happens in our lives, we have the power within us to overcome adversity. All we need to do is close our eyes, quiet the mind, breathe deeply, and connect to spirit...That’s where our magic lives
