a piece of quiet ...

Published: Sat, 06/25/16

I'm craving quiet right now.

Quiet from email, quiet from text, quiet from calls, quiet from social media. I just want a piece of quiet.

As I write this, I'm on the back deck at my place in the Blue Ridge mountains, the sky is a gorgeous blue with a few wispy clouds (we need rain badly). It is no more than 72 degrees, a gentle breeze is whispering through the birch and dappled sunlight dances across the deck.


I'm in one of my overstuffed outdoor chairs, feet up on the table, tapping away on this keyboard.

Honestly, I think a nap is coming. Haven't had one all week and I really love dozing in the afternoon sun.

So, I'm going to give you this piece of quiet.

It might make you crazy, if, like a dear female friend of mine, you have to be go-go-going all the time.

You may just love it, if, like a good male friend of mine, you look forward to time to do absolutely nothing with no one. (He's told me he's never met a woman who can do that. I CAN, and love it.)

Enjoy this email as a nudge to get quiet.

Turn off all the noise and relax into your awesomeness (because you truly are.)

I'm honored to have you in my tribe and welcome your comments, insights, and triumphs always.

Mega Hugs,
Melissa

PS. If you can't enjoy quiet now, save this as a reminder, it's worth it.
