Many of us make New Year's Resolutions. If you haven't resolved to live more in the moment, put down your phone, engage with friends and family more & take more time for yourself in 2016 I encourage you to add that to your list. Technology has brought us so many wonderful conveniences but sometimes I wonder if it makes up for what we have lost.
One thing I love about scrapbooking is that it is absorbing. It involves using both my hands so I can't multi-task while doing it. It usually involves friends for me since I rarely scrapbook on my own. I love my weekends with friends to be creative, make progress on my adored scrapbooks and endless hours to talk and connect without texting each other.
Book a weekend or several days at the Barn Owl Retreat this year. I promise you will breathe a little deeper, possibly sleep a bit longer & you will take in the beautiful sights & sounds around you because you will have time and won't be distracted.
