A Return to Simple- Slow and Intentional Living

I felt...

 

unsettled

uneasy

pulled out of my natural daily rhythm

so I...

prayed

read

researched

and was "gifted" a year and a half

to slow down, investigate and lean in

(on my journey toward self-paced intentional living)

and within that time

what I learned to

embrace is that...

I am built differently!!

I am highly emotional.

I require more time to process information.

I recover with large blocks of uninterrupted quiet time.

and at times...

I desire to move at a slower pace than others around me.

AND FOR YEARS...

 I struggled with this

fought against it

forcing myself 

to attempt 

to adapt 

to the energy 

around me,

but finally, after slowing down, 

I discovered my natural rhythm, 

(the pace of life/ lifestyle that feels good to me)

 

while delving deeper

into things that 

nourish...

guide...

heal...

me
