So you may have noticed that I did not send a newsletter on Monday. Over the weekend I went to a No Kings protest, and I did dinner and a movie with my dad and sister for Father’s Day. I probably had some time to write a newsletter somewhere in there, or on Friday when I was off work. But I didn’t.
If you know me in person, it’s probably clear that I have been dealing with a wee bit of ennui/burn out. Possibly it has also seeped into the newsletter a bit. Maybe. Or maybe this is just a bit of self-centeredness and no one has noticed at all! Either way, it has become clear to me that it is time for a break. And since I’m about to go on vacation with my family, it seems like an opportune time to turn my brain off before it starts coming out of my ears. So I’m going to try to tune out for the next couple weeks and get some rest. In the mean time, I hope you all get some rest too, or take action that invigorates you, or try something new. I hope you get to spend some time with loved ones, and read a good book, and eat something delicious. I hope that we all, in every corner of the world, find a way to make peace.
And come July, I promise to have some thoughts about it. While you wait, here are some flowers to tide you over. See you soon!
Good! You need to prioritize yourself at times. We are in a marathon, not a sprint.
