These books are here as companions —
an invitation into a deeper way of being.
Rooted in mindfulness, yoga, and lived experience, they explore what it means to stay present through change, to listen more closely, and to meet life as it unfolds.
You can read them in moments of stillness, return to them in times of uncertainty, or simply keep them nearby as a quiet support along the way.

Living in Awareness: A Companion Journal is a gentle space for reflection, self-discovery, and returning to yourself—one page at a time.
A Life Worth Living: Mellara Gold’s new book on “mindfulness, yoga, and living in awareness” is my favorite because she employed a style that I used in my book, as well. By using vignettes of memoir, prescriptive information, and a bit of research, her book takes what could have been dry and didactic information and makes it a literal page-turner. Her childhood could very well have been a movie, and she takes you through her learning process in marriage, motherhood, and studying under Channa Dassanayaka, who also supplies the invocation at the book’s opening. This book is totally worth checking out. Just click on the photo to read more.
