I can\u2019t count the number of times in life that I\u2019ve thought\nto myself, \u201cI wish everyone would agree to just slow down and take a break at the\nvery same time so we could all get caught up for once!\u201d However, never in a million years did I\nexpect it to actually happen\u2026and yet, here we are\u2026the entire world is being\nforced to take a break at the very same time\u2026what a unique opportunity this actually\npresents us\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know that for the last week we\u2019ve all been glued to the news\nreports on television and on social media to watch all the minute by minute\nchanges taking place, the closings happening, and the illness and death counts\nrising. Frankly, it\u2019s been difficult focusing on much else the last week. It\u2019s\neven been more difficult here in Utah because on top of all that we also\nexperienced a 5.9 earthquake with a bunch of aftershocks, so with all that\ngoing on it has been almost impossible to focus on anything else!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But here we are a week later and it\u2019s finally dawning on me what\nan amazing opportunity this forced world break can be if we all use it\neffectively. Think of the millions of\nprojects you\u2019ve told yourself, \u201cIf only I had some time where I could get that\ndone\u201d \u2013 maybe it\u2019s organizing your emergency documents, or scanning in old\nfamily photos, or writing your life history, or going through old emails, or cleaning\nout the garage, if only you had time – Well,\nnow you DO!!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Time to rest, time to spend with our families, to bake\nsomething yummy, to serve one another, to re-center spiritually and pray, and time\nto work on those projects that we\u2019ve wanted to get to forever\u2026 For at least the\nnext few days or so we all have this brief break in time to catch up on all those\nthings we\u2019ve wanted to get to forever but didn\u2019t have time for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before we know it, life is going to return back to normal\nagain, and all of us will be back to moving a million miles an hour without a\nminute to spare… But for at least a few precious days we have all been given\nthis incredible break in time \u2013 a break we can use to our advantage to accomplish\nso many things! If we use it wisely, when this break ends we\u2019ll be ready to jump\nback into life feeling re-centered spiritually, feeling lighter for having\ncaught up on those things that were weighing us down, and feeling rested and\nre-energized and ready to take the world \nby storm! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We all longed for a break and now we have it \u2013 so take full advantage of it while it\u2019s here!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
