I give myself permission to slow down, knowing that rest is not a reward I must earn but a necessary part of how I sustain and nourish my life.
The Hum That Wouldn’t Stop It started with the refrigerator. We noticed it this morning — that low, electrical hum we’d tuned out for months, maybe years.

Read moreI am allowing my body and mind to relax and release any tension, allowing me to be fully present in the moment.
Today I am taking the time to give my body and mind some rest. It is so easy these days to become overworked, stressed out, and overwhelmed with all of our daily obligations that we sometimes forget how important it is to take a deep breath and relax. I am focusing on each part of…
