Staying Still

Pause & Savor

It’s official. School’s out for summer! 

This means the rhythms in town, and in our household, are shifting. 
Mike and I had our first sail of the season this past Sunday. The forecast was for VERY light wind, so we cruised out intending to simply drift and relax. Instead, the wind came up, so the sails went up. Gosh, I love being out there!

we can easily lose sight of the riches 
that lay right in front of us and within us.”

Hi friends!

A short note today: an invitation. 

An invitation to PAUSE. 

Not just now, while you’re reading this. 
But whenever you need to. 

Why? Because pausing is the first step to shifting. 

Creating a meaningful shift in your day, in your energy, in the way things move forward? It can be so simple! 

Try these 5 easy steps. Any time. Every time. 

1: P - Pause | Step away from doing
2: A - Arrive | Come fully into the moment
3: U - Unwind | Let your breath loosen the grip of busyness
4: S - Settle | Rest your awareness in your heart, your belly, your body
5: E - Enjoy | Savor the simple goodness of being here. 

A meaningful pause doesn't require a yoga mat, a meditation cushion, or an hour of free time. Just a few intentional moments.
Pause. Arrive. Unwind. Settle. Enjoy.
You may be surprised by how much can shift in less than a minute.

Sometimes that's all it takes to remember you're already home. ✨

And why not linger a little longer with whatever is nourishing you? ♥️

Thank you Rhoda Thurston Lewis for the stunning hummingbird photo! 
Even the hummingbird allows itself a PAUSE. 

Love and light to all,
