This year I am on a mission to have more peace. One thing I did recently was to do some deep breathing while listening to relaxing ocean sounds. If you’re in need of some peace, choose something simple to bring more of it into your life.

It was funny, I asked in an upbeat way and received great news back. Even though it felt hard to ask, and I put it off, it was so worth hearing the answer.

If there's a question to ask, just ask it and find out the answer. Then you can move forward from there.  Do you wonder where the time goes and why things aren't getting done. Distractions get in the way. If you're catching yourself fascinated by something that moves your focus away from the next important step towards a goal to thrive in your life (a new job or promotion, school, planning your next adventure) these can be distractions that are getting in the way of where you want to go.
When focusing on the next few steps towards the thriving life you want, it keeps the momentum going towards where you want to go.
