I am discovering just how much happens when you slow down …
it truly is expansive!
Time to think. Moments of important pondering. Empty space in my head.
These are all things that I am more in need of now than I have been in awhile. It turns out, there is a lot going on in my head, some of it feels really, really important, but I haven’t made time to BE with those thoughts, as others take over quickly.
This past week I took a day of pondering, where I had no expectation or need to think about income or how that might happen. I needed time to clear away the debris rattling around in my noggin, and try to let the “good” stuff align into cohesive thought.
It was a lovely day. I need more days like that!
Alas, I am no closer to fomulating the rattling thoughts into anything that makes sense outside the boundaries of my cranium, but at least I know that stopping for a day is a good decision and something to incorporate into my life much more often!

If you haven’t taken the opportunity to explore these four wonderful poetry connections, I emcourage you to click on over to house of appleton and read all about them.
They are all a deep and rich reading experience.
Having fun with Bento Letters … they really can be anything you want them to be!!
As we shift into this new season of what I always refer to as chaos (no structure whatsoever), I wish you all the delights that you can handle!!
May the sun bring many blessings,
Happy Summer Sarah!
Hello Sarah,
what a nice peaceful day you must have had before writing this piece, it comes through so clearly. I wish you a summer of calm after the busy storm you have had launching the house of appleton, and supporting all the swirling creativity of the other 4 authors whose books you birthed and nurtured for them.
It’s summertime, take a break to soothe your own soul. And recharge the generous battery pack that is your boundless creativity.
thanks Di! … a little time to ponder and putter … that is what is needed most!! ~s
Hap-y Summer, dear Sarah!❤️
The phrase “empty space in my head” really called to me! How does one achieve such peace?
It must be where you live – in that peaceful glen where live and creatures simply “are.” Enjoy Sarah!
Well Stephanie, making some empty space in my head takes some real work … to let go of everything and just be in your body, feel it, listen to it. I mostly have accomplished this recently by lying on the floor and calling my spirit back in … to the centre of my body. It has been a rather amazing experience, I must say! I think it’s all about just making the time to not “do” anything, but just be.
