Week of September 20, 2025

Discover how the simple prompt, “Today I noticed” inspires a playful, creative mindfulness practice that boosts joy, connection, and gratitude—and makes our lives richer and more meaningful. And more fun, too!

The Today I Noticed mindfulness practice: Hear how two friends unexpectedly transformed their lives simply by paying attention … and how you can, too

Hear from Willow Older and Deborah Huber, the founders/authors of Today I Noticed, about how pausing to notice and record tiny, ordinary moments instantly grounds us in the present and makes life richer, more fun, and more memorable. After experiencing the power of paying attention firsthand during a creative “TIN” session, you’ll have everything you need to incorporate Today I Noticed mindfulness into your life back home. No art experience required.

After the authors share insights about developing a book, participants will enjoy noticing and recording their own observations and sharing what they’ve created with the group. No art experience required.

    • Content includes how to be deadly serious about a playful project; why working for free and taking risks are essential for building a brand; and why perseverance (and optimism!) is everything.

We’ll explore the proven power of being present and its benefits—mental clarity, calmness, and optimism. A right-brain sketching activity will show us that we’re all artists in our own quirky, wonderful way! No art experience required.
