Not much blogging these days, and my days are hardly about food at the moment. I’m now working at the HU 4 days a week while working on my 3rd book (Eenvoudig Spiritueel), which is due in January 2012. Busy busy busy.

This september, at the Faculty of Communication and Journalism, we started our new minor ‘Mindful Communiceren’, in which I teach mindfulness meditation. A wonderful experience – we are on a pioneer’s journey with 18 young people who chose to explore the field of mindfulness and see how it can be integrated in their profession. I admire them for their courage and innovative spirit!

This afternoon, we explored the notion of Acceptance. As the sun set, our classroom grew darker and we looked at our most difficult experiences and emotions. We ended with the Serenity Prayer, which India.Arie, whom I admire deeply, put so beautifully to music.
