Hi Meg, I feel the suffering of you living in a constant state of stress and fear, which as you see is due to your fear of the unknown. Life is happening - it is out of our control. But what we can do is receive, be at ease with things as they are, rest in presence. There are many practices to support this - deep breathing, meditation, yoga, gratitude practice, self-soothing, mindfulness. All in support of peace and happiness... In love and support...

Slow Down, ya move too fast... Truth. For me it was my first extended stay volunteering in Belize after I'd sold my home and stuff to create a literacy project there. Belize recalibrated me. Changed my clock forever. I stopped wearing a watch. I listened when the locals would shout after me. "White gyal, why you run?" I only thought I was walking. I slowed down. It was liberating! I was 100% fully Present with whomever was in my company. I took my time. I worried less and slept the best I ever had, even with the constant cacophony of roosters crowing and dogs barking. Yes, slow down and Enjoy. You have More time that you realize.
