Summer Pause

We are off for some fun summer travel in our trailer so you won’t see any Nature Me blog posts for a few weeks. I love these breaks because I always get fresh ideas when I travel. And they seem to come out of the blue. Like magic. But a mindfulness expert would call it inspired thoughts.

And these experts go on to say that taking a pause from our endeavors is something that we all need every now and then. It’s a remarkable way to make space for new ideas or see old things in a new way. I’m all about that!

So after my summer pause I’ll be back in the fall with more stories, photos, tips, and travel escapades. In other words, some new stuff!

Until then, I hope you take your own summer pause from whatever needs pausing. I’ll leave you with this…

We will be more successful in all of
our endeavors if we can let go
of the habit of running all the time,
and take little pauses to relax and
re-center ourselves. And we’ll also
have a lot more joy in living.

-Thich Nhat Hanh

P.S. You can still find me on instagram this summer for photos of our travel escapades.
