Sometimes life reminds us that despite our to-do lists and lofty goals the best thing we can do is bring things back to basics. Sometimes the best way to get "things done" is to just stop. To take stock of where we are and how far we've come. To trust that things are going to happen, right on time, exactly the way they are meant to. It may not be the way we had planned, or even wanted them to happen, but we can trust that they will.

Right now, so many of us have such a full plate, with new responsibilities that we've never had before, and a lifestyle that is very different from anything we've known before. So, take a minute. Step outside. Take a deep breath. Find a body of water to sit next to for a minute. Trust that you're exactly where you're meant to be.  

Just for today. Back to basics.
