Giving Yourself The Gift of Silence

If you're like me, you're wrapping up the year, and perhaps a chapter (or three) of your life. And getting ready for what's next...

So I'd like to invite you to do as little as possible with the rest of 2017.

How you interpret that request is up to you. And I hope you'll include good portions of rest, rejuvenation, and reflection.

There's a wonderful quote from Herman Melville, reminding us:

"Silence is the only voice of our God."*

(*God, Allah, Universe, Earth, Source, Etc.... the loving energy that is everyone, everything, and (most importantly) each one of us.)

From this silence comes the wisdom, compassion, and inspiration — that supports each one of us — in making the difference that we're here to make.

Calm, clarity, and creativity, are what we all need in 2018. For our work. For our lives. For each other.

And it all starts with silence.

So take a rest. Take a break. Take a walk. Take some deep breaths. Take a few moments, as often as you can...

And wrap up your 2017 with a smart, gentle intensity that allows you to hear (and receive) the gifts of silence.

Happy New Year!

Cheers,

Ben
