I agree. I know I'm doing the right thing, weaning myself off daily fixes of what is a very addictive process, one that's never-ending as well as fluid. Every day I log back on to dip my toes or paddle in blogging waters, I'm learning more about my blogging needs, compulsions, passions and habits, and I'm getting closer to working out what a healthy blogging balance would look and feel like for me. Hence the soup! I've been taking better care of myself at every level. You'd think as a coach I'd never let myself get tired, overwhelmed or out of balance, but it's like I tell the sneering cynics in my 'real' life who don't 'get' what coaching is all about: what matters is how we combine our own essence, life experiences, training and skills to contribute something to the world. A facial reconstructive surgeon doesn't have to be born 'beautiful' to be able to help others. I've known for years that it's my own vulnerabilities and challenges that have added extra depth and empathy to my coaching and writing. I've received and co-created many a miracle in my life, and it's that grace I want to share with others. If you've never needed or prayed for help, support and guidance, how can you ever know or share the wonderful experience of having those prayers answered? Thanks, Lori. I agree.

I'm trying to persuade myself that sharing a recipe, song, photo, book recommendation or quote will have to do for now until I'm ready to risk getting back into a blog-reading and writing rythm, but I'd be lying if I said losing hundreds of readers wasn't hard, even if the responsibility lies squarely with me. As was to be expected, many regular readers have found other blogging cafés to chat in, and new comments boxes to share their coaching, writing and clutterbusting passions in, but keeping a tiny channel open is all I can manage at the moment. Please believe that I'm truly grateful for your visits and that even if I only manage a few words a week in the coming months, they'll be shared with love.
