Today I look forward to sharing an original meditation with you to explore the idea of balance

a new episode from bestselling author Isabel Iende.

But for now, let's settle in for this one.

I don't know about you, but sometimes I find working from home a bit of a grind, especially

in the winter.

So to remedy that, I made a big thing of walking.

For sure, 10,000 steps and all that.

But for me, it's mostly about freshening the mind and taking time away from the laptop.

My savior is that there's a park just at the end of my lane.

Elving Grove Park is one of the grand Victorian parks of Scotland.

From the top of the hill where I live, you can see out to the hills beyond the city.

And closer in, you can see the Clyde, the river upon whose banks' ships were built,

which changed the world.

The air is crisp on my face as I look out.

A delicious coolness.

And despite everything I can see out there, it's what's

closest to me that I'm most interested in today.

to move along.

Their crocuses, her paw and white.
