“Within you, there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at anytime and be yourself.” ~Hermann Hesse
How well do you know that sanctuary within yourself? It’s one of your most valuable resources!

Keep the well flowing
“To develop our real selves, we need time alone for thought and meditation. To be always giving out and never pumping in, the well runs dry.” ~Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Finding time alone for deep thought and meditation is not an easy thing to do in our busy, noisy world, especially when we have others depending on us. But creating space for those times is crucial to keeping enough water in our own well for us to be able to give to others and to become our fullest selves.
When was the last time you made space for time alone to think and to meditate? How might you incorporate more of that time into your life?
Make time for silence
“Let silence take you to the core of life.” ~Rumi
Most of us have few moments of silence in our busy lives, but the gifts of silence can be immense. As we head into a holiday weekend, make some time for silence to head deeper into the core of life itself.
