Pause. Rest. Be.

Much wisdom and regeneration are received from these spaces.

I’ve been really blessed in these months. Business is booming. Clients are coming out of the wood works. I’m making more money than ever. Everything is expanding. I have a team of 5 working for me. And a team of 5 for self care support. I love living ocean front. Life is great.

So now I’m finessing the art of really resting and taking time off because it supports my expansion and ability to serve more.

You may not know this about me but sometimes I can be a workaholic. I am filled with so many ideas and inspirations... that’s why I need so many assistants because I manage so much at once.

And the moments of pause really work. I am a big believer in work smarter not harder. For now I’m at 2 full days off and 2 half days, let’s see if I can fit in more time off. But the truth is when I have enough rest and relaxation like I did today, I can’t help but be inspired and come online to share this message with you.

Many treasured moments I only keep for myself. Often wondering if it’s important to share them. Some yes. And others are gifts just for me. These are moments where I feel so much love. An intimacy with life. Simply for existence.

Like the other day when I ventured off into Nature all alone. This was my romantic time with all that is. After climbing the windy trail full of spring blossoms and sweet herbs, I came to a meadow, the sight of which softened my entire being.

My brown eyes lit as I witnessed the sun kissing the long blades of billowing grass like a wave of sparkles dancing in the wind.

I walked across the land bridge taking in the beautiful vista and a flood of butterflies rose from the Earth flirting all around me.

My senses saturated from the light, the smells, the sounds. Just me and the beauty of Mother Earth and I got choked up for a moment. Tears welled up in my eyes. Simply because of beauty. For the simplicity of life.

I share this because even amidst the busy-ness of life, I still make time to stop and smell the roses. So my love, in a masculine driven society when achieving and doing are valued more than rest and nourishment, how can you honor yourself and balance your cycles of doing and being by taking some time for you?

When was the last time you paused? 

When will the next time be?
