Sometimes, the very best gift we can give ourselves is a little bit of time alone — complete silence and complete calm.
Even if it's just for a little while, quiet time is essential for our souls. Our deepest truths speak in quiet little voices most of the time, and we have to get our lives calm and quiet to be able to hear them. Just sit, just listen.
It may seem too simple, too good to be true. But so many of the mysteries of life have the simplest answers, and we just have to trust in their simplicity. Give yourself the gift of solitude, quiet, and a listening heart as often as you can, and you will hear the things you need to hear.
Unplug, walk away, take a breath. Do it for the sake of everything and everyone you love. And especially, do it for you.
Your answers are in there. Your calm, wise self is in there too. Now, go find her. She's been waiting patiently.
You are so very loved, dear kindred.
