This is a little different from what I normally post yet I feel compelled to share this with you. I trust you will find this refreshing and rejuvenating.

I was catching up with a friend last night and he like so many is trying to stay afloat in this fast-pace, challenging world.  He mentioned something that brought my mind to a song I like to share with you.

He said he feels a quietness within that he has not felt before.
A sense of refreshing gratitude swept through me and I know how blessed he is to have found quietness in these times. He has mastered the art of managing stress.

I have shared  a few tips on how to manage the daily stress and strain of work, relationships and family.  I sincerely hope that you will find these tips on meditation and contemplation to be helpful in bringing you to a place of quietness and peace.

And when the inner is still, there is the calmness to remain "cool" and grounded and you can make use of the productivity tools to help you make sense of and organize the daily chaos of life.

May you too find the beauty of peace through the dews of quietness.
And may you cherish the coolness of His balm.
