Hi Reader,

Sometimes you just want to change the speed of time.

You know exactly what I mean. You're watching a webinar, and you bump it up to 1.5x. Maybe you even push it to 2x, slap on the subtitles… and then realize you have no clue what's being said, so you slide it back down to 1.5x again 😅

I'm pretty sure people have done that to me when they're trying to digest what I share in my programs.

And there I am on the other side, trying my best to speak slowly 🤪

Anyway…

These past two weeks, I've been on a much-needed break. Filled with connections, adventures, and quality time.

We went to Vancouver to renew my international passport and took a floatplane to get there. A short 15-minute flight… and it was lovely.

It reminded me of the days I used to fly myself. Back when I could call myself a pilot 🛩️ (maybe one day I'll pick it back up).

And somewhere between the cockpit memories and the city skyline below, I caught myself thinking:

I wish I could slow these past two weeks down.

But then… I had to laugh.

Because there are also plenty of moments where I'd give anything to speed time up.

So which is it?

Imagine if life had a speed dial. Like an old radio knob. Just turn it left or right, and you'd decide how fast or slow a moment unfolds.

A tough conversation? 2x.

A walk with someone you love? 0.5x.

Tax season? Honestly… just skip it 😏

Of course, there's a catch for the procrastinators out there: you'd just end up putting everything on 0.5x and never quite getting to it.

(Hmm… maybe the dial isn't such a great idea after all 🤣)

But it does make me wonder…
What would your dial look like?
What would you slow down?
What would you speed up?

Or maybe… you actually like the pace of life just the way it is?

Either way, it's worth pausing to ask.

Anyway, off for my walk-jog now.

And yes… that's definitely one I'd happily set to 1.5x 😆

Chat next week,

Peggy 🌿

P.S. Where in your life would you turn the dial right now, slower, faster, or right where it is?
