Alyson, this is wonderfully authentic and beautifully inspiring. Thank you for keeping in touch and really touching me with your experiences. I, too, need to slow down and breathe. Blessings to you.
It’s so nice to hear from you, Bradford. Thank you for reading my post. I’m so glad you found some inspiration in what I wrote. Having just made it to the other side of yet another harsh winter storm with no power at my house for four days, I think I need to remind myself too that it’s ok to slow down and rest when things have been really challenging. Hope you’re doing well and many blessings to you too, my friend.
Thank you for inspiring your readers to design our own ongoing retreat within the maelstrom of our lives--not by adding another "to do," but by slowing down.
Thanks so much for reading my post! Glad you enjoyed it. And thank you for sharing the TED article. The classification of seven different types of rest is really helpful, and I love your idea of taking these as medicine. Yes! Medicine that doesn’t require a prescription or money, just investment in oneself, is the best kind for soul-deep weariness.
I’m so glad my post helped you feel better about taking it easy! It’s so important to give ourselves permission to rest when we need to. And thank you for reading!

Lovely, Alyson. This also came across my feed this morning. Maybe it's some medicine? https://ideas.ted.com/the-7-types-of-rest-that-every-person-needs/

Slowing Down. YES! That has been a key lesson for me this year and it changes everything. Beautiful and thank you for sharing!
I’m so happy to hear that slowing down has been making a difference in your life, too! Thank you for reading!
Burn out. Yup. I feel guilty when I just take it easy sometimes. Your blog helped alleviate that!
