1. Slow down Rushing, and filling your calendar with events, and days with busy work, is not the way to get to where you want to be. Being intentional with your time is. Slow down and give yourself time to think and reflect. Pay attention to how you spend your time. What is working for …
I love Paris, and honestly, if I had the opportunity to move to Paris right now, I would’ve dropped everything in a heartbeat.

Lately, I’ve spent a lot of time writing and reflecting on how life has changed over the last couple of years. I like to do this now and then because it helps me maintain perspective. When I look back, I’m struck by the difference in how I feel. A decade ago, life was heavy and …
