Rest is my agenda as a necessity of the moment.

I just did a daily good on resting. It’s on my mind. It’s in my agenda as a necessity of the moment.

These past five years, especially I have been in constant motion. Both building a business with my husband and then attempting to step away from that business and bringing in a lot of travel just to get away in order to get a moment of peace and rest. 

It’s been a bit very blessed time in certain ways, with the cost has also been costly. The wear and tear of constant travel also takes a toll on the body in mind. 

This past weekend, my body and my mind are sending me warnings that I must “stop drop and roll” in a way. 

I must prioritize, deep rest and stop or something that I don’t want healthwise is coming. I am listening and I am sharing because I know I am not the only one who needs to hear this.  

There is so much to see and experience in this life, I am so grateful for all of the travel and seeing of the world that I have been able to experience these last years, I am looking forward to more to come. I am also grateful that it is time to stop for a moment, clear my plate and sink in too deep rest until my body and mind give me the signal to move again. 

In the last month I have had three deaths connected to really close friendships of mine. Each person who transitioned to the next life was so different and yet such beautiful personalities and souls here on this earth. 

I was about five when I sang that my first funeral and recognized the transition of death and experience of ministering through music to families during that time. It is such a beautiful and powerful gift to be able to serve with my voice during this time when a family memorializes a loved one. 

It is also a reminder to pay attention in a new way to the life that we hold, and to hold it in gratitude, and also with the gentle spirit of rest in the way that it needs.

Sending and holding love and so much rest and grace for your journey and for mine.
