Ever feel like a “human doing” instead of a human being? Are you functioning in automatic mode? I am. So I’ve made a decision. It’s time to restructure my time so I can actually live the life I am living. So I can read about all the health stuff I’m interested in. So I can attend classes given by holistic practitioners. So I can practice the non-toxic activities that I know are important and love, like yoga and meditation. So I can enjoy my family without a to-do list running through the back of my mind. Unfortunately for my blogging career, I kind of hate technology. Sure I use it; it’s a modern convenience. To a point. But lately I’ve found myself sitting at the computer way too often, hunched over, squinting, and tired.
Am I stopping to blog? For now. One never knows what the future holds. Am I stopping my quest to learn all that I can and educate and inspire others? NO WAY! I am as committed as ever.
It is hard for me to stop blogging. It will be even harder for me to hold all my sarcastic observations in my head. But I know a break is what’s best for me; if I don’t take care of myself, my family doesn’t stand a chance. I’ve never been a fan of the modern day Supermom who does it all, and I don’t care much for our society which seems to encourage it.
But listen up! If you ever have a question, a suggestion, an idea- please share! I’m still here. I’m just trying to find some balance….
Hope you can too

Thanks T, you’ve been there from day one…and I’m definitely not done expressing my opinion, for better or worse. Let’s go out soon- part of my new quest for balance involves hanging out with friends and having fun!
