Hi, Charissa! This is such a wonderful piece. Living in the moment and cutting out "the noise" is something I am really trying to do right now. Great timing for a piece that really resonated with me! Enjoy the holiday weekend!

Charissa,

Another beautiful post. What you are proposing is simpler said than done. And while difficult, I think you are onto one of the greatest secrets for living a whole hearted life.

Thanks for the encouragement to continue to be with the naked ever changing movements of Life. 🙏

You need to read Oliver Burkeman, he's so wise. I love his style of writing and I soak up every word he says!

I now have the book "The Antidote" by Burkeman and I am already on page 38.

I really like the idea that "happiness" is not something you need to chase - it appears to be elusive like a shy bird that flys away if you try to catch it. I also like the idea of "staring Life in the face" -- not running from anything that appears -- just sitting with it all.

Thanks for the recommendation. 😊
