Caregivers have superpowers! Radical Loving Care illuminates the divine truth that caregiving is not just a job. It is Sacred Work.
Last week, in the year of the Journal's 15th anniversary, I found myself (for the 1st time) unable to complete a column – either then or this week. I will return shortly.
Meanwhile: Thank you Liz Wessel for your profound volunteer commitment each weekend. Thank you cousin Terry for contributing with columns of your own.
I picked up David Whyte's Consolations (2015) & randomly opened to this chapter, "Hiding":
Chip, cocooning is what I call it when my muse needs some time off to refresh itself! I go walking and do some quiet meditation in an easy chair with beautifully soothing classical music to whisk my “creative dust” away.
Dwell on the fact of your having given so many of us spiritual sustenance with your Journal for many years, a testament to your committed ministry of sacred caring for others. Hey, it’s time to care for yourself, Cousin! Bless this time of quietude and may the flowing thoughts come rapidly back to you.

Thank you so much, Terry. You are certainly right regarding the need for all of us to engage self care and, if we have been a bit “noisy” as I have often been, time for some quietude.

So true…
I think Terry has expressed it so eloquently.
May you spend time with the hidden gold that is within, may you experience a peace that surpasses our understanding and may you cherish the blessing that you are to so many but most especially may these blessings return to you tenfold.
