The Mindfulness Practice Center of Fairfax teaches mindfulness in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh. The link to their website includes a schedule and directions to the center.

Quote of the day (via Philosopher's Notes):
If anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart.” ~ Buddha from The Dhammapada
That makes it pretty simple.
If it’s worth doing (very important distinction) do it with all your heart (equally important distinction).
Decide what’s worth doing. (Seriously. Are you doin’ stuff that you shouldn’t even be doing? Because that’s the stuff you tend to do half-ass. Best solution? Stop doing it—either immediately or make a plan to stop doing it…)
Once you’ve decided to do it, give all your heart to it.
(Pretty, please.)
