Take Time For Stillness

Jan 20, 2020 | Acceptance, Awareness, Emotional Healing, Growth, Healing, Integration, Recovery, self care | 0 Comments

We rush through our days, flitting from event to event but often forget to stop and savor the moments. Life becomes a blur. We lose our purpose (or never stopped long enough to even ponder what it might be). Maybe right now, in this moment, you can stop. Stop reading...
