“I think one of the finest gifts I can give my friends in the holiday season is to pause with a long enough quality to actually SEE them. My calm, unhurried presence communicates this gift of a message, "I see you. I recognize you. I remember our times of together and am contributing right now to another quality memory. I value you and honor and take the time, right this moment to pause long enough to truly notice you."” ThinkingGivingLongI CanEnoughMomentsTogetherRememberValuesMemoriesQualityHonorRight NowMessagesMy FriendsSeasonsCalmCommunicateChristmasOur TimeHolidayFinestPausesContributingGood MemoriesHoliday Season Author:Mary Anne Radmacher
“I like to talk about a thing I call a "practiced pause." Just a few moments of pausing allows me to consider a circumstance and take stock of what the best direction might be.

My actions are my own and I am, singularly, responsible for what I see, say, feel and exert.” FeelsMomentsMightActionMy OwnHabitCircumstancesResponsibleResponseReactionsThoughtfulAnnoyingPausesPausing Author:Mary Anne Radmacher
