Honestly. Please, don’t.
A possibly unpopular boundary that I've needed to set for myself: If there is an emergency or an issue of urgency, please don’t call me first.

It's all right now. The truth of the moment is here- everything observable around and within us. The … Continue reading Present Moment. Deep Diving.
