Bad mood no more...

I awoke today in the grumpiest of moods. Between deadlines and migraines I just wanted to go back to bed (or better yet, fly to Bali). I have absolutely no time to blog today as the precious free time I do have needs to go to a zillion to-do's on my never-ending list of action points.

Yep, today just bites (grrr).

Then I run across this post by Sean Howard. He talks about sharing ideas and sharing more of himself. And suddenly the day is just perfect. There is such strength in sharing and being authentic with our audiences...and being true to ourselves. And there are real relationships to be made from this medium--really advancing ones as a matter of fact.

Many won't understand how blogging sharing not only makes us better professionals, but better people (and my conservative father will think me absolutely bonkers and a hippie).

But just look at what Sean has shared and maybe it will make your day perfect, too. Back to my deadlines--but no longer the bad mood. Thanks, Sean ;-).

CK,

Take care of yourself. I know you are stressed but won't admit it. You know, it's okay to shut down for a few days. Your friends, your clients, your readers and everyone else will understand and we can wait a day or two. Nothing is more important than our personal health--physical, mental and emotional. Go back to bed, no matter what Sean's message is. You don't need an excuse to run yourself ragged. Listen to your body and your mind.

true 'nuf from Lewis!
Be good to yourself...the rest takes care of itself -

Lewis & Bob: You guys are great. Feeling better already--and Sean's post was a perfect pick-me-up.

Lewis is right ... you have had a highly charged time of late (to say the least) ... and you are always "out there" for everyone else. But you can only continue to do that by caring for yourself. Take care!

Yep, the peanut gallery has spoken — take a break when you need a break. Otherwise quality (of writing, of life, of heart) suffers.

And, how great you talked about how bl — sharing makes us better people. (I just wrote about that myself) How true.

Authenticity and Transparency Rule the day. Thank you for being both! Have an amazing Wednesday! M

ck, thanks for the link to sean's blog.
i wrote few weeks ago about the need to get unplugged for a while. i know that the book club is approaching, clients are pushing, etc. but what about have a day of rest?
if i was in ny, i would go for libraries, a coffee at starbucks, a chat with friends (skype is included ;-)) and a walk to the park.
take care, my friend, we need you.
