I am tired now Carrying this weight I want to set it down Free my heart of this burden The busyness of life takes a toll My spirit seeks moments of quietude A few minutes or hours of stillness To regain the momentum lost to high tempo I want to rest a while Experience the still life
I am writing to express my opinion, share my experiences and to maybe provide some insight. My blog is addressing women at 50 ( but men are welcome to read my posts) ,their issues and the questions that come up at this stage in life. I don’t aim to teach, but to learn together.

Being still and practicing on my breathing for 10 minutes or so a day is very helpful
