    Instagram post 17867143864932959 Hi moms. Summer is flying by and I see y’all out there stressing over back to school (whatever that may look like). I get it.

Choosing to focus on the fortune of having the option of zoom-yoga with a favorite instructor rather than the hassle of zoom yoga with a 90lb intruder. Attitude changes many things. What are you finding “work-arounds” for today? How are you changing your attitude? . . . #shiftyourgaze #dogsofinstagram #mindbodyconnection #integratedmentalhealth
