This year one of the ways I'm marking the day is by celebrating the achievements of 8 of my favourite female board games designers.

What is Mindfulness? Mind defines 'Mindfulness' as: 'a technique you can learn which involves noticing what's happening in the present moment, without judgement. You might take notice and be aware of your mind, body or surroundings.' That's it. There is no specific activity you have to do - I love yoga, I use guided meditation from time to time, I dance and I try to sit in the garden and drink a cup of tea most days. And, of course I play boardgames. It doesn't have to cost the earth and mindfulness looks different for everyone. I thought I'd tell you a bit about what it looks like for me in terms of boardgames. I'd love to hear what it looks like for you.
