		<description><![CDATA[“Our intention creates our reality.” Wayne Dyer Until I took a yoga class, I’d never heard anyone talk about “setting an intention.” Years ago my father encouraged me to set goals, make outlines, form plans, but he never spoke about setting an intention.

It&#8217;s a keep-sake book, holding memories, containing artifacts of days long ago, a record of dreams and desires that may or may never be fulfilled.

It reminds me to focus on the simplest of actions– breathing, blinking, swallowing. I can feel a breeze brush across my bare feet. I can feel a calmness settle over my mind.
