Extended Blog Absence

Wow. I knew it had been a while. I didn't realise how long! My last post was in January. That is almost a whole year. Anyone would think I don't want to blog. My inclination is to give myself a hard time over this. Why so long? When you know this is something you enjoy and benefit from? Good question, yes, but, really…how is beating myself up, helpful. It is not. What is helpful is to acknowledge and notice that I have felt the need to withdraw a little. That I did not feel like sharing intimate details with the world. A lot has been going on in 2013, there have been many lessons learned and new leaps taken. I have challenged myself in new ways. I continue to walk my path as authentically and honestly as I can, and still be human. There has been a trip home, to the UK to spend time with family and friends, there has been a training/retreat in California which deepened my meditation practice and more importantly, my dedication to that practice. There was another Nia training…I emerged as a blue belt after a week in Vermont. So yes, I finally got to do a little travel, although there is still one trip I long to take, and that is a holiday…a true holiday, with my wonderful husband. All our travel has been in different directions and to different locations. It is time we took a trip together again, for the sole purpose of having a break, relaxing together.
