You don't need to "thrive in a fast paced environment"
can we stop with that?
What if we don’t need to “thrive in a fast past environment” (as is listed on every job description ever.)
And instead we need to practice being present?
To put down the phone.
To look up, look around.
And watch the sunset,
the birds,
the trees.
This is how miracles come.

After my flu in February I became so deeply present. I had so much fatigue and my body felt so depleted, that I *could not* multitask.
It wasn’t an option.
I felt vulnerable and exhausted and I let myself feel vulnerable and exhausted.
It was perfect, actually.
I was so present with each task because it took my full focus and energy to be able to complete it.
It felt incredible.
I raised my sword to the sky and vowed to remain this present forevermore!
😂
And then I went back to my normal work schedule.
And then I got busier.
And then I planned a couple events.
I am human, after all. (Somewhat)
Suddenly I am walking my friend’s dog while talking on the phone or listening to a class I need to catch up on. Not truly seeing my surroundings.
The multitasker returns.
The pace quickens.
The mind clouds.
Except THIS TIME I catch myself.
I course correct.
I decide one evening to walk the dog without my phone.
To resist the pull to be productive, and just let my walk be a meditation.
And the magic I saw on that walk was mind blowing!
So many animals! So many birds! Three crows on the power line, one with a carcass in its mouth! The most beautiful flowers! The most amazing trees!!
This life is so beautiful and perfect when we just…
LOOK
Presence was my word I declared for 2025
Not multi tasking.
You know what?
Miracles happen when we are truly present.
The synchronicities abound.
It’s pure magic.
Turns out we truly thrive in a slow-paced environment.
