Randi Ragan is the author of A Year of Living Mindfully, which grew out of writing for her blog The Mindful Living Almanac (www.randiragan.com), which grew out of running her mobile spa and wellness company since 2006 in Los Angeles called GreenBliss EcoSpa. Obsessed with all things eco-friendly and an inveterate spa junkie, Randi has been immersed for several years now in thinking about what it means to create a true sense of wellbeing for oneself in the midst of such a technologically fraught time. She wants to live to be 100 and still be doing headstands. (#lifegoals) Her mother was an English teacher and then a librarian, who passed on her love of books to Randi, who used to read under her bed covers after bedtime with a flashlight. This probably caused her to go really nearsighted and need her first pair of glasses at age seven. She still reads under the covers with a flashlight on camping trips with her own family after they’ve gone to sleep, since there’s something magical about being alone with a book in a tent out in nature. Randi also reads books in the bathtub and still hasn’t figured out a way to keep the pages dry.
