Growing...slowly!

I harbour "guilt" like a woollen coat. And I wear it well!

When I left corporate a couple of years ago to start consulting, I used to get up and dress like I was going to the office - even if I only had some design work to do at home. It really took me a year to realise that I was actually more effective in my pyjamas and that being at home does not mean I'm not working.

It used to be do, do, do all the time at work and I hardly took time to think. I now realise what a privilege it is to be able to take some time every day to think...or just to be quiet.
I now realise how blessed I am to have a choice every day on how I want to spend my time on earth.

Remind me each day that the race is not always to the swift,
That there is more to life than increasing its speed.
Let me look upward into the towering oak and know that it grew great and strong
Because it grew slowly and well.’
