I absolutely LOVE your advice!! :thumbup: Everyone ought to do this on a regular basis. Extremely healthy and terribly underrated. Folks tend to forget the definition of this Latin word meaning "vacating, leaving, freedom and release from duty - literally to be empty of.."

We are so into DOING and not just BEING.

Enjoy,
