This is the last work week for SheEO before we take our annual 3-week rest. I hope that you get time to restore as well. It’s been a hard year all around, as far as I can tell. Turning off is crucial to success, particularly now when we are all so depleted from dealing with pandemic woes, supply chain problems, and whatever else life has thrown our individual ways.

I thought I would end the year with a blessing for you. It comes from a recent newsletter by Rob Brezsny. I am not sure whether he considers it a blessing as it appeared with no heading or explanation. But I can’t think of anything else that expresses my wishes for each and every one of us as 2021 comes to a close:

“your wounds healed

your apologies accepted

your generosity expanded

your love educated

your desires clarified

your untold stories heard

your insight heightened

your load lightened

your wildness rejuvenated

your courage stoked

your fears dissolved

your imagination fed”
