Interview with Tina Athaide

I’m excited to share the latest #ChatWithThePBLady with you. Today’s interview is with

Tina Athaide and we’re talking about her book MEENA’S MINDFUL MOMENT.

Where’s your happy place where you go to relax?

I love the sound of the ocean or the waves running over my feet, but when I can’t drive to the beach, I will sit in my garden with a cup of tea, listening to the birds or the children playing in the neighborhood.

Favorite thing to do on a rainy day?

There is nothing I love more than to walk in the rain. If it is drizzling, I go out with no umbrella, but in a downpour, I pop open my umbrella and head outside. We don’t get a lot of rain in Southern California, so I savor these days.

Country or city?

I used to be a city person and I still love the energy you find in a city, but I also crave the peace and beauty you find in the countryside. I love the Cotswolds because I get a little bit of both.

What do you do when you need a mood boost?

When I need a mood boost, I take myself out on a date. It can be lunch out by myself or with a friend, a visit to the art gallery, a walk with my dog, seeing a film, visiting a bookshop or the library, or sitting with a good book.
