Sometimes that's the pause that brings on the best ideas. Sometimes pauses are time to find much-needed peace. Your writing will always be here. Take what you need.

It is nearly a year now, and the pain is as fresh as it was that dark winter week. To give one more hug, to receive one more gentle smile ... close your eyes and imagine opening them to find your love gone with no warning ... if you can. I thought I could handle it all... the circle game.

Self-care is the most important work you can do. After all, if we're not feeling well what good are we to others and to the world? Thanks so much for stopping by and being part of the conversation!

If your emotional self is telling you to slow down that's important, too. Thanks for your kind words, Judy. Namaste.

You are a gem of a person, Sandra. I remember your writing break and I always thought you were setting an incredible example to all of us. Great to have you back and to have you here right now with me! In friendship, Cathy

I've often thought about the nature surrounding us, watching people come and go because the circle game continues until the end of time. So let's all take a necessary break whenever we need it! Thanks for your kind words, Helene.
