Teaching and Writing about Living Mindfully in My Very Real and Messy Life

Annie is an ordained Zen Buddhist mindfulness teacher. She has been writing about her life since she began passing notes in Elementary School, later editing the Forum Newspaper and Micro Digest Newsletter at the University of Michigan and technical papers for IBM and Oracle. As a young mother, she started writing about mindfulness, parenting, stress and yoga online and in print. Her blog, rawmindfulness.com is a hit with the mindfulness and yoga community and led to a book of collected essays, Words to be With. Her newest book, Things I Did When I was Hangry: Navigating a Peaceful Relationship with Food (Parallax Press, September 2015), documents Annie’s search for sanity in her eating disordered family life and how mindfulness helped her go beyond the search for perfection and learn to love the moment as it is.
