The holidays are over and the new year has begun.

Our family has already picked up old routines we laid down for 2 full solid weeks of chill-axing (chilling + relaxing) on the couch by the fire - nowhere to go and not much to do.

This Tuesday morning,  we're back to the grind of drop off -  to the metro, to the school and finally home where i immediately dive into my work schedule (invoice, emails, edits, etc...) where there seem to be more task to tackle than time.  

My to-do list is vast but so is my energy supply.  And, as i feel myself reviving up for the coming projects, meetings, photo sessions and the myriad of other to do's I've made commitments to complete.  I run into this little gem of a quote:

"There is more to life than increasing its speed." 

gem of a snapshot:  

A little background - this is my son's ah-mazing kindergarten teacher, mama Sloop.  She has the both the 'privilege' of balancing being both a parent and a teacher.  On this particular day, while her daughter was eating lunch - mama Sloop dropped by the cafeteria for just a quick hi and a hug.  I was able to capture her daughter's response.  

"There is more to life than increasing its speed."

Slow down and make time for the moments that matter. Priceless.

Until next time,
