The joke's on me!

Post here if you are just starting out with your mindfulness practice. Mindfulness is a really difficult concept to get your head around at first, and it might be that you would benefit from some help from others.

I have to laugh (with some compassion, usually, or at least I try) at myself when, in the midst of all of my mindfulness practices, I miss something big. Such as: I never knew that in addition to this forum, there was an entire Everyday Mindfulness website. This despite the link to it on the forum. I found this forum via a web search, not by navigating the main EM page. I've been exploring the main page, which has been fun.

Would it be helpful for other newcomers to the forum to have the Everyday Mindfulness link from the forum to the main page read, perhaps, "Back to main Everyday Mindfulness page," or some such thing?

Agreed. The website itself is one of the world's best-kept secrets. ;)

The developer is coming up to mine for the weekend soon, we'll get that change in place. It should be a trivial thing.

Great idea.
