Retreat

Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.

~Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Retreat

Sometime in the hustle and bustle of your busy day, find a few minutes to take a deep breath and retreat. It is so easy to get caught up in the chaos and craziness of our lives. We all need some down time, even if it's only a few minutes. It is so important to make sure we remain grounded and focused during our day not only at getting our tasks done, but to really feel present in all that we do and conscious of all that we say. Retreating lets us center our soul. Retreating lets us not forget who we are and what life is all about. Give yourself some time today to retreat back to your core. This will make every day, no matter what is going on around you, feel like a true gift.
