hitting pause

"We have been given a new story. When it is time for a new story to emerge, holding on to the past... only intensifies our dilemma." - Margaret J. Wheatley

For the past few weeks I have felt quiet. With so much going on, I expected to feel excitable and frantic, but I don't. I feel quiet. I have three projects that need my energy and a wedding to plan and a friend to grieve, so I think I have pulled all of my energy into myself.

I am past the help of my books. I am past the help of my blog. I am afraid I realized this morning that I JUST NEED TO GET THIS STUFF DONE. Be brave is about doing something every day that scares you. Well, it scares me to stop procrastinating and just get these projects into the world. So that is what I am doing. I am taking a few weeks to pull my energy in and use it where it will help me the most.

Have a delicious, wonderful, divine, soul-full August. Keep me posted on you and wish me luck!

I have found that for me, procrastinating is really the avoidance of finishing--and that comes from a fear of what lies beyond. It's easier to have a project in hand to work on, than it is to face the "what comes next" void that is out there once it the project is finished.

You are so right. Just get it done. Send it out there. Let it go. We need to create space for the next thing to find its way to us...and that can't happen until we let go of what we are holding on to now.

You'll be in my thoughts.

hugs,
Britta

I'm wishing you luck, dear girl! Although I'm pretty sure you don't need it. You are a wise woman to take this time for yourself.

Right now I am sitting here enjoying a moment of quiet with you.

Walked in a bookshop in Banff...looked up, right into a book, and on the cover it said (in HUGE letters )

'MEGG...'

My first thoughts were ooeeeee Megg's book...and then o yes, not yet...be patient!!!

But for one second I really thought it was YOUR book! :0)

Just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you... with writing your book which is finish? and preparing for your wedding? and having a fabulous summer?

and just loving you for being who you are! xx
