Perhaps that’s part of the thrill of it. It takes me some time to really decompress & RELAX HARDER. Seriously, I am a busy bee here in town- I always got something moving & shaking, whether it’s literally moving with salsa dancing or school, my toes are always dabbled in something. This is one main reason I take this time. Slowing down ALWAYS proves beneficial for me. I come out on the other size inspired in a fresh way, with new ideas & motivation. I am rested & grounded & often times quite peaceful. To get away from the busy city life, and connect with nature, is what really does it. Once I quit “doing things” I let nature take her effect. It doesn’t take much. The silence witnessing her is deafening, wherever I am. I really get to practice listening. Travel is like a deep exhale.  And no one can live just by breathing in. The practice of slowing down is an art, something that I will practice for a long time coming. I am grateful to have this time to relax harder in the coming weeks. I look forward to a fresh new year. Happy Holidays everyone.
