Thoughtful conversations with the people of Maine

I think sometimes when I was younger I would just buy to fill space. I'd rather wait for something really nice and just have a couple of items. It really is all about editing, editing what's in your life, what's in the home, and really having thoughtful decisions.

I find myself saying, why didn't they teach us this in second grade or when we were five, these sort of basic concepts, and it's not really complicated. I've been working with patients that sometimes like, wow, I think you're not in your body. They're like, oh my gosh, I think you're right. And then when they start to just make that simple connection, they're like, oh, that feels so much better.

I feel like you can sit back and see a lot of people doing all these great things and eventually there's a tipping point and you want to try to do some of that as well. It's hard, it's not easy. But we've been trying just to chip away at some of the things that we know are going to enrich our lives and the lives of our children.
