Community Routes Podcast

A softening into a brand new year. May it be gentle, restorative, and bring you peace.

We rush into busyness and we barely notice the moment we are in or the one we just had that we want to savor before we are onto the next thing. My grandma used to say we all have 24 hours…even the president, and we all know who he is….and she would chuckle but we were pretty sure she really couldn’t remember. No one gets more time today but we can invest it well. That could mean lots of rest, or moments of connection, or a dose of nature or some movement, a stretch….what do you most need today? What might you savor and enjoy just a little longer? Linger there. Life might be short but we can take it all in and live it to the full. You are loved and you are allowed to take up space and take the time you need. 🍁🍂❄️ 💕
