Pause

I know I've been quiet for the past several weeks.  I'm sorry for making you wait for me.  But as Mark Twain might say, "The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause." 

I've had a lot of beginnings and endings during the past month or so.  And while my crazy head has still been racking up thoughts and analogies, I needed to just sit and be.  But I'm ready to jump back in.  To live, and learn, question, celebrate, and share...

Has your new year started off with a bang?  Let me encourage you.  Don't be afraid to take a few moments to pause and catch your breath.  You may just find the right words (and actions) will follow.
