I recently returned from three weeks away. While I unpack our bags and catch up on chores and work I'll leave you with an image I snapped last week of my favourite quote.
“Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” ― Margaret Mead
Margaret Mead also wrote my second-favourite quote:
“Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.” ― Margaret Mead
What is your favourite quote?
declared 2017 my ‘midlife gap year’—a year off to focus on living life rather than earning a living. A year to pause and ponder before moving onto the second half of my life. I embraced all the ‘r’ words: retreat, reflection, reevaluation, rejuvenation, and restoration. I found the whole experience so worthwhile, my midlife gap year extended to two years. It took that long for my pause to pay off, for me to reemerge—restored, renewed and ready.
Almost a year ago I wrote here that I was going to step away from this space for a month – to focus on home and start the new year with a calm mind and a clear vision.
It seems one month wasn’t enough. This space became one of the many casualties of me ruthlessly clearing the clutter from my schedule. A move that was necessary for me to move even closer to living the life that I aspire to.
We can’t have and do everything – we have to choose. And I chose to focus on home for a while.
