A book recommendation from Amanda Duckstein, founder of Shadowbox Pilates:

Mindful Moments

I wanted to highlight an important addition to our studio offerings — the Gratitude journal created by Katherine Elizabeth Long, who's actually a student here at Shadowbox.

She first developed a children's version with gratitude prompts, which she used with students and friends' kids. The success of that project led her to create an adult version specifically designed for busy women.

I discovered Katherine through the Hampton's Boss Moms network organized by Kim Lenar-Ehrhardt, and was immediately impressed with both her approach and the quality of her work.

As someone who values the mind-body connection in wellness, I felt her gratitude practice complemented our physical work perfectly.

That's why I decided to make her journals available here at the studio — they provide another dimension to the self-care practices we encourage at Shadowbox.

Where to Find It

You can purchase it through Amazon or find it available at the studio alongside our other carefully selected wellness essentials.
