Your Time : Tu Tiempo

 Why not...  SPEND TIME ALONE?

IF YOU FEEL LOST, overwhelmed, stressed out in today's busy, noisy, forever chatting world, stop.  

Take time to discover the joys and benefits of silence and solitude. 

Whether for a day or an hour, find a quiet spot at home, on the rooftop, on a park bench, or on a rock by the seashore, away from your husband, novio, children, amigas. 

Don't bring a book or a radio or a beeper.  Don't bring anything to do.  

Don't think about unpaid bills or wonder why he didn't call. Just breathe.  Relax.  Watch a cloud drift by.  A leaf fall.  

Listen to a bird sing or a wave crash or your heart beat or your soul stir. You will feel centered and renewed.  

Ready to face the world again.
