What a powerful thing to recognize -- your highest self clearly has some things to say on the topic. There is so much power in simply stating the intention, and you have. Continue to take good care of yourself and give you what you need. Laura, I am totally with you. Looking forward to hearing about your weekend experiment! I'm envisioning a bunch of posse blog postings on "giving ourselves a break." Hmmm ... Love and thanks to you both ... Joy Leslee, hooray.

Laura, I am totally with you. Looking forward to hearing about your weekend experiment! I’m envisioning a bunch of posse blog postings on “giving ourselves a break.” Hmmm …

Love and thanks to you both …

Maybe it will focus my energy a bit more when I do need to get things done! Enjoy your time!!

We're at least spending Thanksgiving in Savannah... This brought me to tears, which lets me know I need some time like this myself. We’re at least spending Thanksgiving in Savannah…

Delicious. It is very true -- many people(myself included) feel such a strong urge to plug away nonstop, as if that's going to make the stress go away, or chop down the to-do list. However, I think that the more we fuel the fire, the stronger it will burn. I'm actually finding myself in this very moment needing to take my own advice - in the face of having potentially over committed myself to too many projects the other night, I've been working nonstop for the last 36 hours, telling my friends that I'm "grounded until Christmas." Yowch. Moments to stop, sit, and allow the life we have created to unfold all around us, to take a break from impacting the world and just watching it with awe, is so very necessary. Thank you for this reminder and have a beautiful weekend. xoxo Ahhh, I was nodding and tearing up through this entire thing — especially the images of the condors flying overhead as you soak in the Esalen tubs.
