The Art of Slow Living - Founders of The Edward

The Open Road Podcast

Ahhh the simple pleasure of slowing down to smell the coffee and truly breathe in the quickly passing moments that only the present can offer... AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT! When was the last time you took a day or two to slow down? I mean REALLY slow down? On the show this week are some people who have opted for a permanent slow down to pursue more fulfilling adventures. We have the founders of The Edward Bed and Breakfast on the show to chat all about why they decided to leave the big city behind for a different kind of life.

"Prince Edward County is a prime getaway spot; only a few hours drive from Toronto and Ottawa, you can quickly pack up the car to spend the weekend roaming through vineyards and picnicking at the beach. They say there is something about this place, and we couldn’t agree more. Not everyone wants to uproot their life to live here full-time, but you can certainly enjoy a slice of this lifestyle at The Edward, and boy is it sweet. We live in big, bustling cities all over the world and work in high-traffic retail and massive companies. We climb figurative ladders and live off the high of our achievements. Yet, the weekends can’t come soon enough. Vacations almost always feel over before they begin. It can take days to slow down, and when we finally do, we realize we haven’t taken a deep inhale or lengthy exhale in months. – Take a deep breath – – Embrace slow living – We truly believe well-being stems from a slower pace of life—where you take a moment here and there to disconnect from the hustle, listen to the sound of the wind in the trees, and take a meaningful breath. Although there is something to be said for city life, when we look across the field to the wild tree line and see a family of deer stroll by, we are reminded why people keep coming back to the County. We want to share this with you."
