Checking the lie of the land from a distance
gives us a far more objective outlook
sure the details may not be so clear
but we get a much broader perspective
If we can do likewise with our decisions
it would enable wiser choices
Is it in agreement with our values?
Will it make a difference?

Lovely, Kate,
It’s very good advice to stand back and allow the charge to diffuse a little before making a decision or even posting something we’ve written 🙋🏻✨✨
