Busy mothers balance home, children and work, but where can wellbeing fit into daily life?

Mindful Thoughts for Mothers is a lovingly-crafted book of reflections that all mums can dip into during those precious moments of space from 'doing', for a positive and peaceful outlook to support their practice of mindfulness.

In this beautifully illustrated book, Riga Forbes explores the micro and macro elements of a mother's world, helping the reader to hold a sense of the 'bigger picture' while being present in the day-to-day. In it, she invites every mother to embrace mindful awareness for deeper presence and understanding.

From universal daily learning curves to all the things we may have to balance in our lives, she reveals the threads of connection we weave through our relationships with our childrenβ€”and living memories of mothers and grandmothersβ€”creating family-tapestries of nurture that will extend deep into the future.
