In today’s world, we have so many ways to keep ourselves ‘Busy’. Busy seems productive, hard working and necessary. Lately, I have been trying to catch myself when I use this term. What is being ‘Busy’ anyways? I find that often times when we use the term ‘busy’ it brings up negative limiting feelings. It …
Growing up I spent many many weekends sleeping over at my Grandma’s house. I absolutely loved these sleepovers because they meant special time just for me, staying up late, playing games, and eating lots of junk with one of my favorite people.
