Rushing around has become a way of life for many of us. We take more and more on, we have our blackberry/iPhone on us at all times, we run from one appointment to the next, we eat standing up, we yell ‘hurry up’ to the children in the morning and cannot survive without our multiple…
Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend.
