Why is it so hard to slow down in our fast-paced culture? I think this is a super hard question to answer, especially if you are in the stage of life where you are parenting young ones. Their needs seem never-ending added to the Pinterest-perfect expectations that we think should be attained. There are activities to attend, parties to prepare for, sports teams to join, books to read, baseboards to clean (for real, I haven’t clean mine in years!), and the list goes on.
Enter Tsh’s book Notes from a Blue Bike: The Art of Living Intentionally in a Chaotic World!
Having traveled to other parts of the world, Tsh has seen the cultural differences in how people live in a slower pace, a pace at which they are able to enjoy life more. I want that. I want to enjoy life more.
As I have been trying to work on My One Word this year, I have been seeing more and more how doing less actually helps me to do more. It’s kinda crazy in some ways, but it’s true. Try it!
I am savoring this book, and in the name of slowing down, I am taking in Tsh’s words, her story, a little at a time, and really focusing on doing life as God has called me to.
Our family is more and more enjoying the moments together on our own bike rides:
I also love what Tsh has to say about education. I’m all kinds of bookworm nerdy, so I love love love learning, and am a life-long learner. I had a great experience in school, and I did learn a lot, but discovering the world through books, through people, through travel, and everything in-between has also been a great teacher for me.
