Lovely post, Karen. I needed this. I’ve been stressing with not doing enough and I really need to just chill out and focus on the things on my plate. Less can be more. And beautiful pictures!!
Thanks, Karen, for today's ponderings. As Peace continues to come into your personal space, the ripples are felt and have influence in subtle ways throughout our larger world. Thanks for all you do as you continue to grow into whom you have always been!
Love this Karen. Slow is most definitely an art, it takes practice, patience and presence and feels sooo good when you finally embrace the slow and allow the slow into your life and into your being 💫
You and Maria Shriver (see her editorial in her on-line blog "The Sunday Paper" today) are definitely channeling the same inner wisdom of moving more slowly through life. As so much is being thrown at us so quickly, we need to, as Maria says, "take a beat" in order to settle down, tune in, and be present in the moment as our best, most grounded and compassionate selves. I hope you thoroughly enjoy your new, more measured pace as you move through the languid months of summer. (I bet you won't be wearing that turtleneck for long! ;-) XO
I have two stickers taped to the bottom of my computer monitor. One reads, "as slow as possible" and the other reads, "Time is not real, urgency is fiction. Whatever we've been told must be done right now can wait. – Eloghusa Osunde." They are there obviously to remind me, but as I sit stressing over deadlines and what I have to do and what I haven't gotten done, I realize I'm not heeding them very well. The struggle is real.
Thank you Karen, just what I needed to read this morning..so beautiful. I resonate a lot with giving myself permission to slow down. I just finished Atlas of the Heart- and glad I have this book to help me and my children understand the difference between all the emotions- plus I love the format of the book.

Fully agree with the need to slow down - beautiful words and photos ...
So much truth here--thank you!

I'm inspired by your quest of slowing down and self compassion. Our weather has been a bit cool at times this week too.
