I keep hearing, do more, be more, produce  more, take on more, schedule in more, etc….

And I’m thinking, hmmm, I think that equation is backward.

Little IS big. The little note in the lunchbox or the ten minutes to snuggle or the seemingly small promises kept, the hug and listening after school…those little things are huge!

Less IS more. The less stuff you have the easier it is to keep the house clean, the less distracted you are and the more time you have for people.

Of course it’s practicing balance right? Less junk food and more real food. Less TV and more reading. More of any of the good stuff and less of the non-growth stuff.

If you’re feeling stretched too thin, I hope you’ll take a moment and see what excess activity or expectations you may have that could be pared down or weeded out so that you can have greater peace in your day-to-day life.

Sometimes we’re trading the important moments of peace and calm that we need at intervals for nothing of value.

Keep on a goin’ you’re doing so well! Just don’t you quit!

Love,

Jacque
