Oof! "When I take time to just be, I waste less time." I'm slowly learning this and simultaneously keep forgetting. Medicine on this Sunday morning when I have a huge to do list looming ...maybe I'll take some time to just be. Thank you!

Nature is my solace! My forever friend! I deeply feel the connectedness! I cherish our natural world SOO much! I, also, feel the pain we humans are causing this precious earth! Taking time to walk through the woods, to notice the relationships, the interconnectedness, I am renewed & inspired! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! for your dedication to being a voice for Nature! a voice for ALL of us! Thank you!

YES to this....”when I take time to ‘just be,’ I waste less time”!

I found myself moving a mile a minute today in this ‘medium’ Massachusetts weather. I could be outside soaking in the grey and savoring the salt air wind gusts, or I could be inside doing the things I neglect during this 5-9 seasons, OR I could do a combination of BOTH, which is how I started my day.

And now....I just need to be for a bit. Thanks for this !

Oh, so glad that reading this helped you slow down. So important in a world where we're pressured to define our days (and often, ourselves) with 'doing' instead of being.
