We’ve been away for a little while … can I dare hope you missed us!
It has been quite a month for Mickie (who writes the Let’s Do it … Together portion of this blog) and me. On March 23rd, my Uncle passed away (I wrote about it here).
His funeral was on May 13th. On May 17th, after a short battle with glioblastoma (aggressive brain cancer), my beautiful sister-in-law, only 58 years old, passed away. Her funeral was on May 26th. On May 6th, Mickie’s beloved grandfather passed away, and his funeral was on May 27th.
It has been a lot of grief to process.
So we put down our blogging, among other things, and gave ourselves space and time to grieve and to rest.
And that matters because you need to know that we are willing to practice what we teach. The mindful life is not about pushing through and making demands of ourselves and others. The mindful life is about being present in the lives we are actually living and, in those lives, practicing our values.
So we’ve taken some time.
And now we’re back.
Beginning tomorrow you’ll once again start receiving all the regular inspiration and information you’re used to finding in your in-box.
It was good to step away.
It is good to be back.
I wish for you all the goodness and blessings of this day,
Kate
