Women at Rest

Minding My Own Business

When I choose to...

• Avoid entanglement in other people's drama
• Not participate in gossip or entertain talk about anyone other than those physically present in a conversation
• Feel inspired by instead of threatened by someone else doing something cool
• Only think about what I'm doing right now (typing, thinking, drinking sparkling water on a Monday afternoon
• Pause when agitated and take three deep breaths

. . . I am far less frazzled, more peaceful and more present. And it's been a wonderful day!

Women at Rest is Back

Dear Women at Rest,

It has been so long since I posted, I am flooded with embarassment, bewilderment and shame. Forgive me. I can offer no reasons or excuses, other than the unwavering truth that in writing and in life, the longer I remain quiet, the harder it is to turn unquiet.

So, I'm back. Women at Rest is indeed alive, after a long winter of deep hibernation.

Springtime blessings to us all!
