I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how fast life moves.

Does this sound familiar? You tell yourself your going to take it slow, maybe on a Sunday morning when the to-do list is shorter than most, yet still find yourself rushing through the morning — checking your phone, thinking about your to-do list, and getting pulled right back into that go-go-go energy before you’ve even taken your first full breath.
