Writing can be a lifeline, especially when your existence has been denied, especially when you have been left on the margins, especially when your life and process of growth have been subjected to attempts at strangulation.

Slow Down....Life is not a Race

Yesterday, I was reminded by my body that I am still in the healing process. I had a long list of things I wanted to get done. This list included:

  1. Clean the kitchen

  2. Pick up Christmas Tree from Lowes

  3. Run to grocery store for dinner items

  4. Cook Dinner

  5. Decorate Christmas tree

  6. Work on my book

You already know how this played out. I felt myself getting a headache and dizzy while working on the tree. My husband came to me and asked me to take a break but I am a one track mind, Type A personality girl. Once I start something, I need to finish it.

Well, I ended up with more dizziness and a headache. I even woke up to dizziness. So I am taking my time to issue this warning to you, slow down, life is not a race. The tree could have waited as could cleaning up the kitchen. So today, I am going to sit and relax. After all it’s Friday and I am looking forward to some Chinese food and a movie with my kids.
