You know things have gone beyond crazy busy when you’re dreaming of being stranded on desert island with no WIFI. No Internet. Nothing but fresh air wafting through an overloaded brain. I straddled the middle path by working often in the garden or hammock but summer is over. The last rose shed her petals a couple weeks ago but not without leaving a poignant message. Instant serenity is available when we unplug.  I took my last blog post to heart and experienced life  instead of blogging about it here. A much harder decision is to cut back drastically at Cat Wisdom 101.  There’s no choice really.

My to-do list deadline in the next week before leaving for a conference is heart attack inducing.  So, in order to avoid a panic attack, I won’t  write about it but my aha is a horrible/happy realization. Even if I worked 20 hours a day I could not complete every I’d hoped for this month. It’s simply not humanly possible and sure as hell not humane for my body and soul. As it stands, I’m writing this at 3:30 am grappling with a  “how did I get here” moment.  Every muscle is screaming, press publish now and get the fuck to bed.  Okay, will do and don’t you wait until it’s too late.

Unplug while you can, every chance you can because you can. Right now. Your soul will thank you.
