Good provocative thought. So many little things are gigantically small and small-minded races throughout the day: purposeful discourtesies, arrogance, numerous egotistical and thoughtless acts. More awareness of and regard for others--and theirs for us--would go a long way, already, to "de-racing" the day in a pleasant way.
Does it have to be a race? Does it have to be a competition? That is what I ask about every single (well, almost) TV program these days. Time to move on, people.
I wear a turtle pendent. Have been for years. It's my talisman. Unlike the story that has the turtle crossing the finish line; the true nature of the turtle is to forge it's own path. They're great escape artist.
I like to think of this blog as a virtual sort of spa day or night out with friends. We relax, we laugh, and we get a little perspective from the goddesses and wise women who've come before us. So exhale, slip off your shoes, and turn off the phone. It's time to Begin Again.
Buy The Goddess Lounge ebook for only $2.99 and the paperback for only $9.99. What an amazing deal!
A story of love, motherhood, a lot of dogs, tons of traffic, a few modern-day monsters, and a little divine intervention.

I don't know, Margaret. Maybe we race with ourselves. But I don't think it's about "slow," or "fast." I think it's about "steady."

Good question! And thoughtful comments by Petrea and Star.

We rush too much and get no where sometimes.

Not a race, I like to think, but a journey.
I'm definitely a slow mover, so I say it's not a race. Love the sand sculpture. Reminds me of the snow angels we made as kids.
Margaret! Yay!!
