What is enough?

February 18, 2016 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

What is enough?  I began asking myself this question a few years back. It all began with a particularly wonky morning. I had written a to do list the length of my arm, booked clients for most of the morning and the cupboards were bare, the washing baskets full and the dog was staring longingly at his lead.

Why doing nothing is not a waste of time.

July 31, 2015 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

relax

We often fear doing less. We label less as lazy. We think of less as damaging. We worry that if we don’t work hard enough, we will surely miss out.

When less does become more

October 21, 2014 By Karen Main 4 Comments

What if by doing one less thing today, you were able to enjoy a simple moment of your day more??? What if you don’t make the beds today and enjoy long conversations and furious giggles with the kids over breakfast??? What if you have takeaway tonight and instead of cooking play board games??? What if you leave the dishes until […]
