One more thing…

www.elizabethbraswell.com

After opening up my emails this morning (haha I realize the irony that I’m sending you this via e-mail:) …I thought this would be a good reminder for all of us. Here’s what the MAJORITY of my in-box was:

Don’t miss out!

Act fast!

Limited spots!

Your lucky day!

Final call!

Get it now before it’s gone!

Life-changing opportunity!

Bom. Bard. Ed.

Then. I stepped into my kitchen. Quiet. Peaceful. Doors open. Wind chimes playing. Roosters + chickens clucking and crowing:).

And. I reminded myself.

JOMO.

There’s JOY in saying no, in missing out, in being a VIGILANT GUARD as to what we allow in or let grab our attention. There’s joy in creating space … physically + emotionally…by not being sucked in to all this world is offering.

This weekend…practice it. And watch. Watch how often stuff tries to creep in and grab your attention. Then…repeat after me: JOMO. And then carry on.

Love you.
