Comment on Top 3 Reasons to Take a Break from Life

Stephanie — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 17:01:51 GMT

Thanks, Jill for your perspective. I think because I am in introvert, for me the concept of stepping back, creating space, or being still really resonates with me. For me, when I don't trust the flow of life, I tend to over-do, over-commit, and create things out of unconscious fear, which leaves me drained and dis-connected. Sometimes I need to hit the reset button and for me this means a period of being alone, silent, and in conscious stillness - although there are of course many other different kinds of retreats as well!

Seems to me that when I find myself in a rut it is due to my NOT trusting life -- so rather than stepping away from life (how does one actually do that anyway?), I step away from the lack of life. Life is buzzing, it's full, it's exciting. If I'm not buzzing, not full, not exciting then I actually have stepped away from Life -- what I want to do is step back into it!! Just a thought and a different perspective -- and I know it's symantics, too.

Stephanie, I'm taking the time to go back and read all of your blog posts. I may scan some of them; I've printed some of them -- especially your playlists. I'm so enjoying your expression of life, your love for Nia, your love for change and the mystery that surrounds it. thank you.

Thank you for this Steph. I think you took part in a miracle. Few of us ever really get the msg that is right in front of us. I don't think I would have gotten yours. I am glad you shared it so that maybe I can be more open to my msgs. Vic

Crying! Can just see the whole day unfold. My tears are for you, sad that you would ever have to feel a loss of faith in humanity. Yet tears of joy a dog helped you to find it again. Love you so very much! L

Oh Steph, the tears are streaming....what a beautiful story! I'm glad you took his pic - I think he is beautiful...For all you know, he may be an angel in fur-form, sent to comfort you on your sabbatical, as well as teach you. I found myself wishing you could take him home. I wonder whether you will see him again...We owe so much to our fellow animal beings. Fur-angels. Thanks for sharing this sweet story. Love, Melanie

Wow. I type this with tears in my eyes. And I'm forwarding this to a friend who is experiencing "dog" problems. I do believe that animals come into our lives for a purpose. You are blessed as is your furry friend. Jill
