Apparently whatever brilliantly profound piece of wisdom I had to share this week shall go by the wayside.
The cat’s have spoken.
Every time I pull out the laptop to begin writing I end up with a cat on top of my lap instead.
Along with “the look”.
If you have a cat, you know exactly which look I’m talking about.
The deeper meaning, however, isn’t lost on me.
I need to rest.
Typing away after 5:00pm in front of the TV sipping a glass of wine is still working.
Let’s face it, I’m barely even listening to what’s being said, let alone following the plot.
My attention is not here. My attention isn’t even nowhere.
I’m being a great disservice to couch potatoes all over the world.
I see flashbacks to another lifetime of my consulting days.
My neck strains to look out the plane’s window as we wait for stragglers to board.
I so want to be a baggage handler.
Just for a day. Or two.
I need the rest.
A break.
The brain is far too deep into overtime to shut down.
My body needs to catch up so I’ll be forced into an exhaustion where I can’t even think.
Flash forward again.
The cats know.
I’ve been running on high for far too many weeks.
Things had to get done and they did.
Time to gear down.
Put things aside for a few moments.
At least long enough for some really good belly rubs and chin scratches.
I don’t have to stop or be still.
Puttering away with a to-do list here and there is just as refreshing.
The point is to shift.
Switch up.
Tone down the intensity.
Full out can only last so long.
But time out is the break needed to start anew again.

She uses her knack for combining intuitive abilities and logic to help re-ignite what Lights you up inside and make real “there’s something more”. Lorraine’s deepest wish is for you to be full of yourself in everything you do – a life truly lived in bliss.
