Are you living slowly from your heart and soul this week? Or is this going to be another week of frenetic activity in a life buried in pressures and deadlines? Sometimes a trip away is just the thing to clear the head and give us the time to rethink whether we want to play this Game of Life by our own rules or someone else's.
