A Table for Pausing
Born March 21 – April 19
This May, you may feel ready to move forward, yet taking time to pause will be especially important. Because your energy can carry you quickly, let mealtimes become a place to slow down. Rather than rushing to decide, try to focus on what you truly feel.
