Is your pace sustainable? Release the need for speed

Mindfulness, Newsletter

Slowing down to the speed of summer

Mindfulness

Permission granted to slow down

Mindfulness
Ever since my son and I got back from our month off the grid in Western North Carolina--read What the Mountains Taught Me--I've been thinking about how speeded up we have all become: plowing through inhumane to-do lists, agreeing to crazy…

Slowing Down On the Inside

Staying Slow When Everything’s Fast

Life Balance

Life Balance
This weekend I found myself frequently humming, "Slow down, you move too fast ..." Lately, it feels like life is moving too fast. A month feels like a week--a week, like a day. Saturday night we really felt the effects of this. My…

Doing vs. Being

Work Life Balance
