Eating should be natural, healthy and pleasurable. But in our diet-obsessed culture, eating is often mindless, consuming and guilt-inducing instead. The cure? Mindful eating. Mindful eating is about experiencing food more intensely by paying attention to the colors, smells, flavors and textures. It’s also about realizing what’s on your mind when you are eating and eliminating the distractions that can lead to poor choices.


Books Are Fun is bridging the literacy gap and building our student’s home libraries with Book Blast. We are inspiring more lifelong readers by putting at least one new, popular book in the hands of every student at your school. It’s our mission and our guarantee. Books Are Fun has been committed to bringing the hottest books to adults and children across the United States for more than 30 years. For every Book Blast held in Illinois, we will donate $100 to support the IPA’s Member Assistance Program.
