Why a Spanish edition?

The reception of the Transitional Writer’s Conference in Puerto Rico was held at Bookmark bookstore, where I also inquired about their gratitude journals. The owner had only one title—with “Gratitude” on the spine. I introduced him to my 2023 edition and shared plans for an updated 2024–2029 version, emphasizing the growing interest in mindfulness practices. He said, “I’ll carry it—if you publish it in Spanish.” So, I did!
That pivotal moment, combined with the momentum of the global mindfulness movement, inspired me to publish the Mindfulness & Health Watch journal in both English and Spanish. By offering a bilingual edition, the journal became accessible to a broader audience seeking a meaningful and culturally inclusive mindfulness resource.
This edition is now available in
both languages at bookstores everywhere.
First Edition Weekly Journal
“Mindfulness & Health Watch:
Your 2023 Weekly Journal”
In 2020, a gratitude journal gifted at a Global Women’s Peace Network luncheon ignited a habit that transformed my mindset. Inspired by this shift, I shared my experience in a blog post and integrated journaling into my daily wellness routine.
Amid the COVID-19 lockdown, I deepened this practice and identified seven guiding principles: Intention, Gratitude, Affirmation, Visualization, Kindness, Wisdom, and Spirituality. These insights became the foundation for my first journal—Mindfulness & Health Watch: Your 2023 Weekly Journal—a holistic resource supporting mental clarity, emotional wellness, and personal balance. With the assistance of “experts as columnists” I expanded on these principles in my current edition (2024-2025).

A surprise diagnosis with carcinoid cancer became a turning point—motivating me to preserve the decades of knowledge I had shared in seminars and training on Professional Presence, Business Etiquette, and International Protocol.
