I’m away on retreat, working with a great group of people.

We’re working on our own things, in our own classrooms. But we seem to come together at all the right moments to focus on something someone is struggling with. I’ve had a couple of moments of great clarity. Moments I wouldn’t have had in my regular routine.
In the Business and Professional Women, we used a Collect with the line, “Take time for all things.” I don’t think that means to try to “do it all.” I think it means, for all the things you do, take time for them. And take time away when you need to.

It was a great time – on so many levels.
We ALL need to take time away from normal life to refocus. (A different location helps a lot – particularly one with Amish buggies nearby.) I hope this post inspires others to do the same.
Paul, it was a pleasure to share this time with you. This really reminded me of the value of time away and conversation with small groups of really smart people.
Welcome home Becky. I can hardly wait to read about the retreat and all the wonderful new projects coming soon from everyone.
Now get some rest!
Thank you, Miss Dazey. :)
