Presence and Purpose With Jay Longden
"The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green Earth in the present moment, to appreciate the peace and beauty that are available now,"- Tich Nhat Hanh
Hello and welcome — to where you are right now — the only moment that truly exists: the present.
My name is Jay Longden, and I’ve spent most of my life studying and practicing the art of living in the present moment with purpose — sometimes consciously, other times unconsciously. Life has a way of bringing us back to what truly matters, often through lessons we didn’t expect. Many of mine were hard-earned, but each one guided me back to this simple truth: the present moment is all we ever really have.
That understanding has inspired me to document my journey and share the insights I’ve gained. My hope is that what I’ve learned may be helpful to others navigating their own path toward presence and purpose.
If you’re someone who wants to live more fully in the now, I invite you to explore the two links below.
The first is a weekly newsletter, which I’ve created as a space to grow a community centered around mindful, purposeful living. There, I share my personal experiences, lessons from my journey of self-discovery, and practical tools to help bring more mindfulness and awareness into daily life — making living in the present moment feel natural and accessible.
The second link will take you to my Life and Spiritual Coaching page which also has a lot of great information and resources to potentially help you along your path.
