I finally entered material about myself under the tab Contact/Consultations and the tab About Me. Those will be my “blogs” for today.

At the same time, I am pondering this past week in our country and will write some thoughts this coming week. Because of the complexity of writing thoughtful posts, I am learning that my Blog Blitz is slowing down to five blogs a week at most.

As I wrote in my last blog: Deep breathe, reduce stress, expectations and responsibilities.

A few years ago, once a week I began saying, “I am taking today off.” This means today I will have no agenda, no assigned tasks. In the words of the New Zealand Prayer Book: “What is done, is done. What is not done, is not done. Let it be.” It is a discipline with amazing outcomes; I commend it to you. By taking yesterday “off,” I found that my head cleared and I could see my way forward more intentionally. And I let it be.
