Permission to Pause
Ever notice how the world slows down when you step away from screens?
Mid-afternoon, I traded digital pixels for watercolor and gratitude tokens.
My soundtrack: Anna's hummingbirds trilling and dark-eyed juncos chirping, my companion: a contented pup stretched nearby, my backdrop: California sunshine at a perfect 77 degrees.
These moments of creative pause feel almost rebellious now.
When did you last give yourself permission to step away?
