Thank you! Makes so much sense.. I just realized something, as a kid and even now as an adult I always stop to smell food. Don’t matter if it’s in a bag, or plate, I will always stop to smell it. Never realized tht I was being in that present state!! Wow, thank you once again for this insightful talk. ♥️♥️♥️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️🪴🪴

On my word I have fallen in love. She takes a playful exercise and secretly drops a truth bomb of presence right in there. Because folks that is what love and great lovers demand. Deeelightful.

Just happened upon this. It wasn’t what I was looking for but it helped just the same. Being present is very important. Thanks for the reminder. I will use it today.
