Women over 60: It's time to press pause
and give yourself the gift of waiting
The Art of Waiting Without Withering
What would happen if, for one single day, you pressed pause every hour to sit still for just two minutes? Would you unravel? Or would something new begin to take root?
Yesterday, I decided to find out.
I set the timer on my phone for one hour. Each time the alarm went off, I walked to my favorite pink chair, settled in, and did a simple sitting breath meditation for two minutes. Then I reset the timer and went about my day.
I did this all day long.
Now imagine yourself with me: your phone buzzes, you walk to your own chair, you close your eyes. You breathe in… you breathe out. Just two minutes. The timer dings, you return to the dishes, the emails, the laundry, the scrolling. Then an hour later, you do it again.
Here’s what I noticed as the hours unfolded:
Pardone the interruption! I’m trying something new: I’ve locked today’s essay for paid subscribers. Why? Because I want the inner circle to be a place of deeper work, fewer distractions, and more direct support. If you’d like the full essay and the extras I reserve for paid readers, you can join here
If not, I’ll still be here tomorrow with something for everyone..
