Despite the clear message of that pic, some still send messages, email, phone calls ... 🙄... And me? I still answer them all.. I betrayed myself, although not much. I am … Continue reading S l o w
Peace
I chose the word 'peace' for the year 2025. I want to make the word as the anchor for me to walk through 2025. Why the word peace? Hmm .. I don't know...

Enough
It's heart warming when I do the "enough" practice.
