  I really love to walk. For me, it’s invigorating and uplifting but then again… I go at my speed. Do you enjoy walking… and at whose speed? Most of my walks are simply that – a walk and I let the day lead me in the direction to go. It’s not a purposeless walk but it […]

  Do you feel a tad overwhelmed and uncertain as to where to start and how to start (fill in the blank). No, not the ‘typical’ or usual problems, issues, and challenges; the more essential and critical one of ‘self improvement’ – however you define this. The somewhat obvious and yet unhelpful comment would be

  Wish I had said that – I’m quoting an unknown source. But what a great mindset! In our lives of instant everything, many times the ‘good’ does take time.
