60 Seconds for Tips on Thursday: Take Time to Be Alone.

<p>Hello to listening in <a href="https://colombia.travel/en/bogota">Bogota, Columbia, South America</a>!</p><p>Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds, your daily dose of hope, imagination, wisdom, stories, practical tips, and general riffing on this and that.</p><p>As the saying goes, “<i>Never be afraid to sit awhile and think</i>.” [Lorraine Hansberry]</p><p>I’d take it 1 step further: Welcome the opportunity to sit awhile and just be alone, to muse, to daydream.</p><p>What comes out of such aloneness? Who can say. Perhaps you will look at what’s held you back. Perhaps you will summon the courage to take a step from dream to action. Perhaps you’ll announce the start of a journey: Now! The time has come. I am ready. I am going to do this!</p><p>If you are ready, what will you say about taking this step? To whom will you say it?  </p><p><strong>Practical Tip</strong>: For those of us who are still waiting for that Beckoning to Begin, know this: There will come a time - very soon - when something captivates you and you, too, will be resolved to set out. Meanwhile, “<i>Never be afraid to sit awhile and think</i>.” because the aloneness there will bring a journey when you least expect it.</p><p><i>This is the place to thrive together.
