I know I haven’t posted in a long time. This summer has been a whirlwind of celebration, a lot of work, a hospital stay, reflecting and creating (a program, music and more). There’s a part of me that feels guilty that I haven’t been on here or on social media. And there’s a huge part of me that’s happy I didn’t force myself to show up. I’m happy that I allowed myself to pause. Earlier this year, I wrote a number of affirmations about pausing. They were inspired by a dear friend who decided to pause for herself. I love that she’s exploring what that looks like for her. Sometimes, we look down upon the pause because of what culture or society has taught us, or because of what we internally believe pausing represents. For me, the pause represented laziness. But I’m learning that there is real power in pausing. And trust me, if you don’t take the pauses you need, your body will tell you to, as it told me this summer. My business coach asked me the other day, “How can you build pause into the work you do and into your process?” And I’m here for that. I’m so here for that. So, as you’re doing, and it’s interesting that even the word “doing” implies action, how can you build pause into that action? Maybe the question I have for you is this: How can pause become part of your work or your process so that you can rest, reflect, recharge, reconnect, or embrace any other “re” word that speaks to what you need?

Finish this sentence: “I would feel more Love & Freedom if I could…”
