About Me

“The art of mothering is to teach the art of living to children.” – Elaine Heffner

My name is Shawn Ledington Fink. I am a Mindful Mama and Writer. And, like you, I’m just trying to be the best parent that I can be to my twin daughters.

I am a student of many topics and a questioner of many more.

I draw inspiration from poets, bloggers, Buddhists and other spiritual leaders — all with the hopes of encouraging other parents to be the change they wish to see in the world.

My mission: To encourage and inspire parents to join this Awake journey and show undivided attention to those they love, the dreams they aspire to achieve and this lovely one chance we get at life.

I’m passionate about fun, creative and peaceful parenting. I love finding unique solutions to everday parenting problems.

I hope for only one thing each day: To raise kind, peaceful and creative children.

And to be kind, peaceful and creative myself.

That’s me in a dress. Unheard of, usually. I prefer yoga pants.
