Come greet yourself.

Our lives are too precious to miss. But that’s exactly what happens when we feed the addiction of proving ourselves and how we spend our time, when we feel we must justify time off. Even the fact that we call it time “off” is so telling, isn’t it?

Take a breather. Literally.

This series offers you a beautiful and life-giving opportunity to practice the powerful art of being idle. The focus here won’t be on writing as much as on taking some time each day to step out of the routines, the requirements, and the responsibilities — into a space that prizes a slower pace. Having nothing to show for yourself will be cause for celebration. Doesn’t that sound refreshing?
