There's a particular kind of magic that settles over the world this time of year. Maybe you've felt it too, that gentle call to exhale, to let things soften a little. To stop chasing the next thing and instead linger in the moment, barefoot in the garden with dirt under your nails and absolutely no idea where your phone is (and honestly, not caring either).Summer has its own rhythm. She doesn't rush. She unfurls. She shows up unapologetically, sun-kissed, slightly overgrown, humming with bees and possibility. And every year, I find myself needing to answer her invitation again. To slow down. To live with less noise. To breathe more deeply.And if I'm honest, this year more than ever, I need that exhale.Walking the Walk (Even When It Feels Uncomfortable)I talk a lot on the podcast, here on Substack, on Instagram, about slow living, simple living, seasonal living. I share practical ways to strip back the chaos, to live more intentionally, to reconnect with rhythms that feel more human and less machine.But here's the thing: sharing about slow living is not the same as actually living it.I've had to sit with that recently. Because while I believe deeply in everything I write and teach and podcast about… I can also be incredibly good at staying busy in service of slowness. Isn't that wild? I can fill my calendar with things that all “support” my values and still end up frazzled, overstretched, and a little bit disconnected from the very life I'm advocating for.So this summer, I'm choosing to walk the walk. For real. Which means creating more space in my schedule and energy. Saying no, kindly but firmly. Letting some things rest. Including, most notably: the podcast.

Today on Stitch Wish Radio, I'm sitting down with the incredible Gabriela Martínez Ortiz—textile artist, embroidery visionary, and the creator of Ofelia & Antelmo. Gabriela's work is this beautiful meeting point between repetition, nature, and intuitive process. We talk about how embroidery became her way of slowing down, finding healing, and reclaiming her artistic voice after leaving the fast-paced world of fashion. Her story is deeply inspiring—woven with themes of lineage, inner knowing, and the slow evolution of craft into purpose.Whether you're an artist, a dreamer, or just feeling your way toward a slower, more intentional life—this conversation is for you.Gabriela's Website: https://ofeliayantelmo.com/en/Her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ofeliayantelmoMy New Book, The Art of Embroidery Design https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-art-of-embroidery-design-expand-your-creativity-an[…]l-stitching-designs-christi-johnson/21470337?ean=9781635867664The new pocket altar workshop I mentioned https://mixed-color-school.teachable.com/p/pocket-altar-workshop(00:04:08) Transforming Embroidery into Versatile Textile Art(00:05:52) Intricate Stitch Creations in Embroidery Workshops(00:13:56) Gabriela's Therapeutic Journey Through Embroidery(00:17:44) Embroidery: A Journey to Creative Fulfillment(00:23:43) Embroidery: Connecting through Infinite Stitching Journeys(00:32:01) Organic Patterns: Nature's Influence in Design(00:35:47) Cultural Textile Traditions in Contemporary Embroidery(00:36:44) Organic Patterns: A Visual Exploration

Pastor Paul Kim discusses what it really means to take the sabbath.

Because the sabbath command is rooted in God's delight in creation and Israel's exodus from slavery. We need to learn to slow down, make space, and enjoy more of our God! Exodus 20:8–11 (ESV): 8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

In this week's message, Pastor Rob unpacks two aspects of Patience.1- Steadfastness in enduring troubles2- Slowness in avenging wrongs

Let's be real: life feels like it's running on double speed most days. Deadlines loom, notifications buzz constantly and the endless to-do list seems to grow by the hour. In this fast-paced world, we're told that busyness equals worthiness. But here's the secret no one's shouting: slowing down might just be the most productive thing you can do.Slowness isn't about doing less though, it's about doing things with more intention, presence, and joy. It's about letting go of the pressure to keep up and finally giving yourself permission to breathe deeply and live fully. Today, we're diving into how to embrace slowness in a fast-paced world and reclaim your peace.Join me for Show Notes & more:Join me on SubstackJoin me on Instagram To hear more, visit theslowlivingcollective.substack.com

Luke 10:38-42

Kapha season is considered to be late winter and spring in Ayurveda, however, it's best to think of the qualities of the season as this is what determines whether it's kapha season. It's when there's cooler temperatures, the ground is saturated with rain or melting snow and the air is heavy with humidity. Having the understanding and awareness of the qualities which are present in our natural environment and our body/mind can help guide us in our food and lifestyle choices which can in turn prevent imbalances and illness. Some signs of excess kapha dosha are: Colds, coughs, flu, allergies with mucus and congestion Agni mandya (slow digestion) Feeling heavy and sluggish after eating Water retention Weight gain Lethargy and oversleeping Inertia or lack of motivation Slowness in all activities Foggy mind Feeling sad or depressed Withdrawing from social activities. In this episode Colette gives Ayurvedic tips on how to navigate this season to prevent these imbalances and she covers pacifying foods and tastes, best cooking methods, how and when to eat, self-care and mindfulness practices along with emotional and mental health advice. * Click here to learn more about discounted group Digestive Reset Cleanse starting January 31st, 2025 * Visit Colette's website www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com  Online consultations & Gift Vouchers Next discounted Group Cleanse starts January 31st, 2025 Private at-home Digestive Reset Cleanse tailored to you Educational programs - Daily Habits for Holistic Health Have questions before you book? Book a FREE 15 min online Services Enquiry Call * Join the Elements of Ayurveda Community! * Stay connected on the Elements Instagram and Facebook pages. * Enjoy discounts on your favourite Ayurvedic products: Banyan Botanicals - enter discount code ELEMENTSOFAYURVEDA15 at checkout for 15% off your first purchase.** Divya's  - enter discount code ELEMENTSOFAYURVEDA15 at checkout for 15% off your first purchase.** Kerala Ayurveda - enter discount code ELEMENTS15 to receive 15% off your first purchase.** **Shipping available within the U.S. only. * Thanks for listening!  

In this episode, Chad and Robert explore the spiritual discipline of slowing down. With the fast pace of modern life, it's easy to get caught up in busyness and lose sight of what truly matters. They unpack the difference between being busy and being hurried, the value of creating margin in our lives, and practical steps to cultivate rhythms of rest. From aligning our daily habits with God's design to learning to hear His whispers in the stillness, we're reminded to embrace a slower, more intentional pace for a life of peace, joy, and deeper connection with God.Subscribe to receive our latest videos!Website: https://www.sunvalleycc.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sunvalleycc/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sunvalleycc/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sunvalleyccTo support Sun Valley and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://www.sunvalleycc.com/givingGod loves you no matter who you are, what you've done, or what's been done to you.

Hey friend, Every year it's the same. And every year I vow for it to be different. The holidays do something to me that ignite a desire to slow down, take it easy, to not overcommit my calendar. And every year, even with the best intentions, I end up feeling like time went by way to quickly, I missed the joy of a slower rhythm though I managed to check all the boxes - and I end up feeling disappointed.  I don't think I'm alone in craving simplicity and slowness around the holiday. As a content creator I have the unique privilege to add to the chaos and noise - pushing my favorite products, must haves or home hacks that you absolutely need to try. Or...I can take a stand and say I don't want to add to the noise this holiday.  I'm choosing the latter.  For the next three weeks, we will be focusing on a mini series about Craving Simplicity. No tips, tricks or hacks to try to make your home look ten times prettier tomorrow than it does today. Simplicity - so you can enjoy the holiday sights and sounds with those you love most, in the place you share together...home!  Enjoy the slow! Dani

Clare's first female TD has condemned what she's called the "extraordinary slowness" of achieving fair gender representation in Irish politics. The upcoming General Election will be the first in which all parties are required to field 40% female candidates to receive full State funding. Eight women have declared for the General Election in Clare so far which is the highest number ever in the county and makes it the first time more women than men have run here. Kilkee native Madeleine Taylor-Quin, who became Clare's first female TD when elected for Fine Gael in 1981, says given the lack of progress on gender balance in the Dáil, she fully supports gender quotas.

Host: Steve Macchia, Guest: Matt Scott “When was the last time you've been awed by God?” - Steve Macchia How can slowing down help us embrace the mysterious work of God? In this episode, Steve and Matt tackle this question as they invite you to  “slow down and be more curious.”   Our technological, information-rich age can make us resistant to wonder. What do we gain from surrendering control of knowing everything? Looking at the encouragement from  Romans 11:33-35 and Job 31, Steve and Matt talk about how wonder releases our sense of control, deepens our dependence on God, and enables us to worship God more fully.   Join the conversation about spiritual discernment as a way of life at www.LeadershipTransformations.org and consider participation in our online and in-person program offerings.

Host: Steve Macchia, Guest: Matt Scott “A humble person is a content person.” - Steve Macchia   How does our hustling lead to entitlement? In this episode, Steve and Matt tackle this question as they invite you to  “slow down and be more content.”   When we are hustling, this leads to entitlement. Entitlement fuels our discontent. Looking at the encouragement from the apostle Paul found in Philippians 4:10-13, Steve and Matt talk about how contentment is found not in circumstances or possessions but when we are at home with God and with ourselves. This episode includes personal stories of learning to be content through loss and practical advice to be more content.

Host: Steve Macchia, Guest: Matt Scott “What are we gripping in our hands that may simply be worth a penny in comparison to the abundant life God offers us." - Steve Macchia    How do we release the things that make for false self identity? In this episode, Steve and Matt tackle this question as they invite you to “slow down and be more detached.”   Henri Nouwen talked about the false self gripping to 1) what we do (our work) 2) what we have (our possessions) 3) what others say about us (our image). This conversation looks at practical ways to detach from these things that we build a false sense of self around. Looking at the encouragement from Jesus found in Luke 9:23-26, Steve and Matt talk about denying ourselves in order to receive the fullness of the abundant life in God.  Join the conversation about spiritual discernment as a way of life at www.LeadershipTransformations.org and consider participation in our online and in-person program offerings.

Host: Steve Macchia, Guest: Matt Scott “Not setting realistic expectations of what we can accomplish within a day creates unnecessary hurry and angst inside each of us.” - Matt Scott How does our inability to slow down rob us of attentive presence? In this episode, Steve and Matt tackle this question as they invite you to “slow down and be more attentive.”  Too many relationships and roles can make us overwhelmed and over-extended in life. This conversation looks at practical ways to slow down and focus our attention on God and others. Looking at the encouragement from Hebrews to fix our eyes on Jesus, Steve and Matt talk about practices that can deepen our awareness.

Today's Scripture reading: Psalm 46.8-10 (MSG)

Host: Steve Macchia, Guest: Matt Scott "It is hard to do the 'one-anothering' of the New Testament when we are in a hurry" - Matt Scott  How does hurry hinder humility? In this episode, Steve and Matt tackle this question as they invite you to  “slow down and be more humble.”  Exploring the reality that hurry drives our selfish ambition, this conversation looks at practical ways to slow down and consider the needs of others above and before our own. Looking at the example of Jesus in Paul's letter to the Philippians, Steve and Matt talk about practical ways that humility is the starting place to serving, loving, and caring for the needs of others.  Join the conversation about spiritual discernment as a way of life at www.LeadershipTransformations.org and consider participation in our online and in-person program offerings.

Are you walking through a season of transition and feel a little overwhelmed by all the change? Are you in a time of being hidden— plowing the field, waiting, and wondering if God sees you? Are you hungry for “more” but aren't quite sure what could cure your restlessness?Whatever it looks like for you, I believe this interview will meet you in that place. We talk about the hard truths about growth, the mercy of being hidden in Jesus, and the desperate need for us all to slow down, assess what God is actually calling us to, and rest in the unknown, knowing that there is One who knows everything and He is with us.Ruth Chou Simons is a best-selling author, artist, podcaster, speaker, and communicator.

Host: Steve Macchia, Guest: Matt Scott “How are we going to know God with heart, soul, mind, and strength if we don't know Him in the inner core of our being - our soul?” - Steve Macchia  In this second episode of Season 31, Steve and Matt talk about the practice of silence. The goal of silence is to know God in the core of our being. Practices that lead us to silence include stillness, solitude, sabbath, and surrender. Every day, there are increasing distractions that challenge the practice of silence. Silence can also be difficult because paying attention to the things that weigh heavy on our hearts is disorientating at times. But this is where God meets us. One of the greatest gifts we can give one another is not our speaking but our silence, simply our presence.  Join the conversation about spiritual discernment as a way of life at www.LeadershipTransformations.org and consider participation in our online and in-person program offerings.

Host: Steve Macchia, Guest: Matt Scott “I think the biggest danger of hurrying is that it pours fuel into my addiction to be busy, to be hurried, to be productive, to be noticed.” - Steve Macchia  Season 31, entitled ‘Discerning God in Slowness', begins by exploring a phrase that is central to who we are as an organization: Slow Down, Be More. In this conversation, Steve and Matt answer the question “What is the danger of hurrying?” And in addition, they dialogue around the fruit and spiritual transformation that comes from learning to live more slowly. Gleaning from the words of Matthew 11, this podcast episode invites you to embrace Jesus' invitation to slow down, recover your life, and learn to live freely and lightly.   Join the conversation about spiritual discernment as a way of life at www.LeadershipTransformations.org and consider participation in our online and in-person program offerings.

This weekend is part 2 of our sermon series called "The Non-Hurried Life" and we will be looking at the slow pace of Jesus' life. Lean in with us as Pastor Harold Flach, our lead pastor, walks us through God's word.

For episode number one hundred and fifty, I proudly bring you this important and thoughtful conversation with Journalist Carl Honoré. Honoré is the leading voice of the global Slow Movement. We recently spent some time at Los Sagrados Horse Sanctuary in Pescadero discussing his bestselling book "In Praise of Slowness." In his books, lectures, and TED Talks, Honoré advocates embracing one's inner tortoise and slowing down. He criticizes the Western world's obsession with speed and promotes a more deliberate, unhurried approach to life. Honoré not only explores the negative impacts of our fast-paced society but also champions those who have adopted a slower, more mindful lifestyle. In a world dominated by haste and diversion, Honoré underscores the importance of deceleration. He provides actionable strategies that empower individuals to not just survive, but thrive in a rapidly changing world, all while prioritizing their well-being and fostering meaningful connections.

Dr. Tom Curran shares insights on the call of the great Jubilee Year of 2000 and the work of Pope John Paul II. Did we miss the moment of grace? Tom talks about 3 diversions away from renewal in the Church: infidelity, inconsistency and slowness to act

In this episode, I talk about slowing down.

In recent years, in the realms of self-improvement literature, Instagram influencers, and wellness gurus, an idea has taken hold: that in a non-stop world, the act of slowing down offers a path to better living. In this episode of Critics at Large, the staff writers Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz trace the rise of “slowness culture”—from Carl Honoré's 2004 manifesto to pandemic-era trends of mass resignations and so-called quiet quitting. The hosts discuss the work of Jenny Odell, whose books “How to Do Nothing” and “Saving Time” frame reclaiming one's time as a life-style choice with radical roots and revolutionary political potential. But how much does an individual's commitment to leisure pay off on the level of the collective? Is too much being laid at the feet of slowness? “For me, it's about reclaiming an aspect of humanness, just the experience of not having to make the most with everything we have all the time,” Schwartz says. “There can be a degree of self-defeating critique where you say, ‘Oh, well, this is only accessible to the privileged few.' And I think the better framing is, how can more people access that kind of sitting with humanness?”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation,” by Anne Helen Petersen (BuzzFeed)“How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy,” by Jenny Odell“Improving Ourselves to Death,” by Alexandra Schwartz (The New Yorker)“In Praise of Slowness: Challenging the Cult of Speed,” by Carl Honoré“The Sabbath,” by Abraham Joshua Heschel“Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond Productivity Culture,” by Jenny Odell“Slow Down: The Degrowth Manifesto,” by Kohei SaitoNew episodes drop every Thursday.

"Challenging the Cult Of Speed"

A Note from James:Cal Newport has written such great books about how to be more productive, more creative, the titles of the books speak for themselves: 'So Good They Can't Ignore You', 'Deep Work', and this latest one is called 'Slow Productivity'. It's about how you ultimately succeed in getting more productive by going slower and sometimes doing nothing. Cal tells us how and why and we always have an interesting conversation. So here is Cal Newport!Episode Description:This episode explores the nuanced concept of 'Slow Productivity,' as championed by Cal Newport, across an engaging dialogue that sheds light on achieving more by intentionally slowing down. Newport, making his fifth appearance on the podcast, underscores the counterintuitive productivity philosophy through his journey, inspirations from his books like 'Digital Minimalism,' and the pivotal role of mindful work habits. Referencing historical and contemporary figures like Benjamin Franklin and John Grisham, Newport articulates the significance of deliberate practice, the fallacy of equating busyness with productivity, and the benefits of focused work. Additionally, the interview captures a personal milestone of applying for full professorship, emphasizing the importance of scholarly impact and steady progress. Through a blend of personal anecdotes, historical wisdom, and critique of modern work culture's inefficiencies, the discussion advocates for a transformative approach to work and creativity that values depth, reflection, and the strategic delegation of tasks.Episode Summary:00:00 Introduction to Cal Newport and His Work02:30 Cal's Journey as an Author and His Writing Process04:09 The Importance of Stories Over Studies in Books07:42 The Role of Workload in Productivity14:22 The Impact of Technology on Productivity14:52 The Shift to Remote and Hybrid Work20:30 The Importance of Structuring Your Day25:28 The Balance Between Hustle and Slow Productivity30:59 The Misconceptions of Young People About Work31:06 Balancing Grad School and Writing Books31:13 The Importance of Time Management32:03 The Reality of Workload and Social Interactions32:37 The Mythology of Speed in Work34:36 The Paradox of the Relaxed Rhodes Scholar35:12 The Role of Time in Productivity36:40 The Importance of Quality Over Quantity38:26 The Impact of Pseudo Productivity54:11 The Role of AI in Writing and Academia01:00:03 The Journey to Tenure and Beyond ------------What do YOU think of the show?

Limitlessness and opportunity – the inertia of pacy modern life can serve as fuel for realising our purpose in this lifetime. But much like this two-month immersion in Mysore that serves as a grounding balance to our proactive compulsions, finding the right teacher will surely keep us all on the right track. At the very least, it will help us avoid complete burnout. Yet while living in a world of endless possibilities, this can also be a tricky endeavour in itself. When there are many gurus in arms reach - whether digitally or a plane ride away - it inevitably raises the questions: How do you find your teacher? How do you know they're right for you? Everyone has teachers along their path, but not all of us are willing to acknowledge them. Whether that's perfectionism rearing its head or a case of warped expectations, the only thing that matters is ensuring they meet our needs, our values.  So teachers and life-long students, settle into this dharma talk that arose after two months in Mysore - the truth that arose when the desire for action was extinguished.

In recent years, in the realms of self-improvement literature, Instagram influencers, and wellness gurus, an idea has taken hold: that in a non-stop world, the act of slowing down offers a path to better living. In this episode of Critics at Large, the staff writers Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz trace the rise of “slowness culture”—from Carl Honoré's 2004 manifesto to pandemic-era trends of mass resignations and so-called quiet quitting. The hosts discuss the work of Jenny Odell, whose books “How to Do Nothing” and “Saving Time” frame reclaiming one's time as a life-style choice with radical roots and revolutionary political potential. But how much does an individual's commitment to leisure pay off on the level of the collective? Is too much being laid at the feet of slowness? “For me, it's about reclaiming an aspect of humanness, just the experience of not having to make the most with everything we have all the time,” Schwartz says. “There can be a degree of self-defeating critique where you say, ‘Oh, well, this is only accessible to the privileged few.' And I think the better framing is, how can more people access that kind of sitting with humanness?”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation,” by Anne Helen Petersen (BuzzFeed)“How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy,” by Jenny Odell“Improving Ourselves to Death,” by Alexandra Schwartz (The New Yorker)“In Praise of Slowness: Challenging the Cult of Speed,” by Carl Honoré“The Sabbath,” by Abraham Joshua Heschel“Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond Productivity Culture,” by Jenny Odell“Slow Down: The Degrowth Manifesto,” by Kohei SaitoNew episodes drop every Thursday.

To Helen Molesworth, curating is much more than carefully selecting and positioning noteworthy artworks and objects alongside one another within a space; it's also about telling stories through them and about them, and in turn, communicating particular, often potent messages. Her probing writing takes a similar approach to her curatorial work, as can be seen in her new book, Open Questions: Thirty Years of Writing About Art (Phaidon), which culls together 24 of her essays written across three decades. For nearly 20 of those years, Molesworth served in various curatorial roles at museums and arts institutions including the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Institute of Contemporary Art Boston, and most recently, as the chief curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles (MOCA). In the five years since her departure from MOCA, Molesworth has built a thriving practice as an independent curator, writer, and podcaster, notably as the host of the six-part podcast Death of an Artist, which was named a best podcast of 2022 by both The Economist and The Atlantic.On this episode of Time Sensitive, Molesworth discusses her lifelong engagement with the work of Marcel Duchamp; the transformative power of a great conversation; and the personal and professional freedom she has found in recent years as a roving, independent voice in the art world.Special thanks to our Season 8 sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes:[00:25] Helen Molesworth[03:50] Open Questions: Thirty Years of Writing About Art[04:02] Marcel Duchamp[04:09] “At Home with Marcel Duchamp: The Readymade and Domesticity”[11:33] “The Creative Act”[12:09] Marcel Duchamp's “Fountain”[17:22] Frank Stella[17:28] John Baldessari[21:56] Paul Lafargue[22:32] Doris Salcedo[29:50] Josiah McElheny[35:23] Al Hirschfeld[36:41] State University of New York at Albany[36:43] Whitney Museum Independent Study Program[36:48] Cornell University[42:33] “One Day at a Time”[46:57] Kerry James Marshall[47:00] “This Will Have Been: Art, Love & Politics in the 1980s”[47:02] “Leap Before You Look: Black Mountain College 1933-1957”[47:41] Death of an Artist[47:46] Dialogues: The David Zwirner Podcast[47:48] Recording Artists[54:53] Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles[54:51] Carl Andre[59:45] WBLS: The Quiet Storm

Today's class, I want to share the most important habit changes you can make. Firstly, shift your mindset from "I can't" to "how could I?" when facing challenges. It's all about problem-solving. Secondly, go from slowness and procrastination to speed and immediacy. Acting now and moving with urgency can make your time more productive. Thirdly, apply the 80/20 principle, eliminating unnecessary tasks and focusing on high-impact activities. This can give you more time for what truly matters. Lastly, consider seeking guidance and coaching to accelerate your transformation. These habit changes can lead to a more productive and fulfilling life.

"The fastest way to a good life, is to slow down." —World Institute of Slowness in Norway Walking into a beautifully decorated home, an abode that welcomes you, gives you a hug and invites you to stay without saying a word takes time to curate. And even those homes that someone else has curated and we feel this way when we walk across the threshold into their home, it is their home, and not our own, filled with choices, items and details that they will appreciate more deeply than we ever could, even if we can understand why they appreciate it. All of which is to say, curating a home for ourselves that gives us a hug each time we return home will take time, and so it is in our practice of patience and trust that the house will reveal what we need in time so long as we live consciously and feel our way honesty through living well in our homes, that we gradually begin to see and then feel how wonderfully loving and comforting a slowly decorated home can be to elevate our days and thus our lives. Now, if you when you see the term ‘slow decorating' you think to yourself, but I want to feel comfortable in my home now. I cannot live without basic comforts. I hear you and I completely concur. Which is why it is important to keep this approach of slow decorating in mind even more. Suzanne Imre from Neptune shares, “Slow decorating is about planning, considering, refining. It's about having a strategy. A direction of travel, which helps clarify those decorating decisions (light or dark? Nickel or brass? Wood or tiles?). And it's about enjoying the process as much as the results.” And so it is with today's episode/post, I would like to give you 10 tips to provide exactly that, your strategy moving forward. Choosing to go the route of slow decorating is also a planet-friendly approach. Imre goes on to say, “This slower method also supports the desire for sustainability and preservation. If you have an unhurried approach to furnishing your home, you'll likely buy less but better. And those pieces will have longevity.” This concept of quality over quantity has been the founding principle of living simply luxuriously and what inspired the TSLL blog coming to be, and it is just this concept that will serve us well, but also the planet should we choose to trust that with time, many benefits for many entities, ourselves, talented artisans, and the environment will be enjoyed.  While I have known this concept to be worth putting into practice and have put it into practice with the three year journey of customization of Le Papillon as shared in this episode, I saw with my own eyes how choosing such an approach over years can create an amazingly special place when I had the opportunity to stay for a week at British interior designer Rita Konig's North Farm in Durham, England.

People who blush know it can be embarrassing. That begs the question – why do people blush in the first place? This episode begins with a brief discussion about why people blush and the purpose it serves. https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/bering-in-mind/why-we-blush-the-social-purpose-of-showing-embarrassment/ Have you ever found yourself hurrying to do something, even when there is no need to hurry? Many of us are just stuck in that mode. No matter what we are doing, we try to do it quickly. That turns out to be a big problem. Doing things fast often comes at a price and doing things slower can have immense benefits according to Carl Honore author of the book In Praise of Slowness (https://amzn.to/43GRlXN). Listen as Carl makes the case for turning down the speed of life so that life itself becomes much more enjoyable.   You are surrounded by music. You intentionally listen to music you enjoy but you also hear it in the store and on the elevator. It's in TV shows and movies – music is everywhere. And people seem to want it and love it. So, what does music do for us? That is what Larry Sherman is here to reveal. Larry is professor of neuroscience at the Oregon Health and Science University and has given lectures on music and the brain throughout the world. He is author of a book called Every Brain Needs Music: The Neuroscience of Making and Listening to Music. (https://amzn.to/3JdFDf8).
