Hey boo. Anxious to get someplace? When I’m not paying attention, that seems to be my default position. I caught myself in it just now. A little tension in my jaw. Determination?

Hello my love. Close your eyes. Take three deep breaths, with long slow sighs on the exhale. With your eyes still closed, notice. What do you feel in your body?
