Powerfully Choosing to Mute the Noise Life can be busy.  We can be going in so many directions, especially when we are navigating a work-life-family integration.  In the busyness, we must remember to be intentional.  Being intentional to be quiet.  Being intentional to be still.  Being intentional with our breath.  Being intentional with our thoughts.  […]
