With your first  morning coffee, get Isabel's famous Quote of the Day

Dear Reader,

 

Do you sometimes feel you are inside a treadmill even when you are inside the gym precisely? Do you wonder if a retreat in the mountains would bring you back your lost life balance and peace of heart?

 

If you recognize yourself in these images, take some consolation: you are not alone. Almost everyone is experiencing an increased need for meaning and purpose, and it's not yet clear how we can bring them into our busy days, nor how they would fit.

Enjoy the reflection.
