Hope we can do what sometimes seems like the scariest thing of all—-rest! Taking time to breathe in the midst of deadlines and fun activities and all of the responsibilities of life. Taking the time to slow down and mourn the people who lost their lives in Pittsburgh. Taking the time to count our blessings and simplify our lives so that we may have time to rest. To breathe. As my friend said, breathe in slowly, hold and count to three, and then breathe out.

Love,

Elena
