Episode Description
“When running to fill a time quota, however, the reverse happens. You can’t make that time pass any faster by rushing, so you settle into a pace that feels right to you at the moment. Each minute above a quota is a little victory.” ~ Joe Henderson Do you find yourself typically rushing around to get somewhere? Do the evening hours seem to come at you and you wonder where did all of the time go as you are rushing into a slower pace focus such as a yoga class? Having presence means being here in the moment – being aware of yourself and also being aware of the effect you have on your world around you. It is a challenge to be truly present for one entire day. It means following the routines that support you, knowing what you know and acting from that, feeling your flow … all the while rushing at the speed of life to try to enjoy it. Join Mighty Gems to explore techniques to empower yourself with options you can choose to immediately notice the effect of different speed zones.

She has spent time walking the streets of her community capturing moments of life and nature through her lens. Through this creative process, she naturally began living with more presence and awareness. Growing up, dLee spent time in her father’s garden where she enjoyed the positive beats of this natural environment. She created and produced summer shows using a stage set, records with music and neighborhood kids as the actors in the stories. For these shows, she managed the players and painted the show graphics on large rolls of left over newsprint paper. She learned valuable life lessons working with these creative productions. dLee was encouraged and inspired by her artist mother and several artist neighbors to play with art mediums just for the joyful experience. Today, dLee combines her love for writing and photography, as her lily pad, to create beautiful wall art, gifts and photo books offered at her website, Photodlights.com. Her latest creative project is Integrating Rounds, an inspirational focused photo and word art collection.
