Time Off for Renewal

This month I’ve decided to take a mini break from the newsletter. Summer is in full force and I’m taking time to enjoy it. This is part of my commitment to renewal and to enjoying some of the simple pleasures of life.

I’ll be spending time with family, making pesto, pickling and freezing the overflow of green beans from the garden and spending time in my “studio”. I’ll wrangle with creative forces to create something beautiful out of polymer clay, wire, silver and copper.

The creative process also continues with my book, which is now titled, The Enlightened Edge for Leaders: Ignite the Power of You. The cover design is coming into focus and I’m starting to look for an editor for the final review.

Before we blink again, it will be Autumn. What are you doing to nurture summer in your life? If you have big plans for the rest of the year, be sure to fill up your reserves with whatever it is that brings a smile to your face and warmth in your heart. Be generous with yourself. Let some of that spill over onto others.
