Practicing what I preach

Over the last few weeks, you may have noticed that my posts have become somewhat sporadic.  There have been logistical reasons for that, but there’s also another truth…

I’ve lost a bit of my juice lately.  I still have plenty of ideas that I want to share with you, but I’ve been lacking the energy and focus to sit down and write about them.  As I’ve mentioned, I’ve gone into information overwhelm by taking too many classes, and it has affected my ability to be fully present here on The Journal.

As much as I love writing here, and as much as I love sharing with you and hearing your responses, there are times when the commitment to post feels like a deadline rather than a gift.

I have been talking a lot about balance lately.  I’ve been praying for balance almost constantly over the last month.  And now the moment has come for me to stop talking about it and actually DO it!  Or rather – BE it.

Because part of what I want to do is show up here with joy.  Complete joy.  Even when the subject is hard, showing up and being present IS a joy.  And I’ve been missing that.

Tomorrow (Wednesday) is my birthday, so this is the birthday present I am giving to myself: to step back from The Journal for a few weeks.  To allow myself to breathe.  To allow myself to regather my juice and find my joy.  So that when I come back, I’ll be fully present with myself, the miracles, and you.

I may post occasionally (no promises either way!)  If you want to make sure to get all the posts when they come out, you can have them delivered to you by email.

Thank you for your love and support.  And I’m accepting all birthday wishes!  🙂
