Hello there, and I hope you are doing well and are staying cozy wherever you are.

This is going to be a super short Sunday Slow Down --

because I really don't want to be on the computer this morning.

All my kids are home and I want to be in the kitchen with them where I can overhear pancake and sausage making....

also?

I just cleaned the kitchen and I'd really rather it stay grease and stick free.

;-)

ENJOY your Thanksgiving. Enjoy your Family.

and thank you in some really weird and long and convoluted way of being part of mine.

I truly appreciate you and am thrilled and filled with joy that you are here.

consider yourself loved and hugged.
 
I think you are wonderful.

⚪ episode #58 of the Slow Living Podcast is entitled "Sober Curious"

I had wanted to record something about doing a Sober Curious challenge or exploring an alcohol aware lifestyle for a while, but was terribly concerned about coming across as preachy.

and I hate feeling preachy and I really don't like being told what to do --

so I tried my hardest to NOT give any advice or SHOULDs or SHOULDN'Ts in this episode.

instead we just chatted about being curious. and being aware.

I've gotten a few emails about this episode -- it definitely has hit a chord and there were some "ahas" brought up ---

you can be "curious" about anything that is a vice or potential vice of yours --- alcohol, sleeping aides, social media, overeating --

I share that Stop Behaviors are tricky to master, and so that is why with myself and with my coaching clients and the students in the Simple Shortcuts to Peace course I recommend Start Behaviors or Start Goals.

When you take a listen, LMK -- I'd love to hear your feedback.

Leave me a voicemail with any comments, questions, or testimonials and I will be sure to include it in an upcoming episode.

You can listen online, or in your favorite podcast app.
