Sometimes you have to stop, relax, and listen!

Sorry for the delay in posting, I had an interesting week which caused me not to use my computer.

Up until last Thursday I was really busy, working and writing.  Then on Thursday night, the connection on my computer broke and therefore no charge was coming through.  It took a week for the part to come in and now I am back writing with more ideas and inspiration!

Yeah!!!!

However, the computer glitch taught me an important lesson in life. One that I have to be constantly reminded of.

I have many different responsibilities in my life, which occupy a lot of my time.  I'm usually GO GO GO ( i.e., constantly busy).  However, I need to be reminded that it is good and well-needed for everyone's mental and physical health to stop and relax sometimes. There has to be a balance.

Taking a break, being disconnected, and listening has inspired me and allowed me to generate a whole bunch of new ideas that I may not have thought of, if I wasn't forced to take a break.

So I am actually very happy that my computer decided not to charge.  I encourage you all to stop, relax, and listen more in your life.  It really pays off and is good for your health.

Stay tuned, as I was inspired to do more on my blog and share stories in some interesting ways.
