….and we’re back and hard at it! I will confess that after a long and busy season, Bette and I took some time off to recharge ourselves during these winter months. One thing I am SLOWLY learning is the need for balance in our lives. Even the best of intentions and programs will benefit when the leaders and participants have a more balanced lifestyle in general. In this workaholic society, we tend to easily forget that as we get wrapped up in the “doing”. I’m working hard this year to try and remember that all “doing” first starts in our minds as a thought, so the place to make initial changes is there, in our minds. And our minds need to be in touch with our soul, to that “still, small voice within”. That’s where we find God, and where we go forward from, trusting we are on a course to bring both ourselves and others to that peace and purpose we all would like to have.
