Slowing Down Techniques
Having been home from my time in Florida for a month now, I find that I really appreciate the forced slow-down I had while there. I appreciate it even more now that I am back into my usual, busyness. Don’t get me wrong, I love being busy, doing my work, but I recognize that slowing […]
