Just a short update at the start of the New Year. The Blog received its 250,000 WordPress visitor a few days before Christmas and now is in its fifth year. It has survived a number of changes in style and in blogging platforms, and a recent relocation to Ireland. I try to keep its focus simple – on words or ideas that help mindfulness meditation practice – without getting in the way too much and hope that they may touch one or two readers in the same way as they help me. I just wish to thank all of you who stop by or who read every day and hope that some of the thoughts and quotes are of benefit in your personal growth and in the development of a more conscious life.

Thank you for your faithful daily posts. The quotes and pictures are like a gentle drip feed, reminding me to stay mindful, whatever the circumstances. Much appreciated, on a daily basis, even if my comments are less frequent. Thank you again. Cilla
This is an amazing achievement!
Thank you Karl, your daily posts have become an integral part of my life, for which I thank you enourmously. 😊
If the world is to change for the better, perhaps it can only do so by individuals change their way of experiencing it.
Thank you Karl. I look for the posts daily and so often find they are completely in step with my own thoughts and process. Sometimes I go on to copy them into a journal, stick them on the fridge, or share them with others. I really value your devotion to the task and the sense of continuity. Cathy 🙂
Thank you, Karl, your words bring me comfort every single day!
Dear Karl,
Thanks to you indeed for this precious blog. I have been reading it every day for the past three years and there have been days in which I was waiting for the email notification as a message from a friend which helps you to hang on in the most difficult moments.
I had the priviledge to have you as trainer in the MBSR in September 2011 and hope our paths will cross again.
Warm wishes,
Giovanna
Thanks just what I need everyday
