Credit FOR THIS STORY goes to Brant Rogers of Yoga Hillsboro 
and an alumna of his  mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) class:

a mother of triplets just trying to carve out
30 consecutive minutes of uninterrupted quiet in her day for meditation,
​and feeling like she might be doing it all wrong.
​
​her story speaks to me.
