A chance to regroup

The time of year for me to put on my grubby jeans and boots and baseball cap has come.

I leave tomorrow for my annual family camping trip with my wife and her family. I have come to really look forward to this chance to sleep in while listening to the river running outside my tent, to smell like campfire smoke all day and eat way more than anyone person needs in one day, even with the hiking and wood chopping.

Being with family out in nature allows me to really slow down and relax, letting go of all the million and one things that I have to do "back in the world." Without this time I would just keep accelerating into a whirling dervish.

Instead, I will return rested and rejuvinated, ready to get back to seeing my clients and my right livelihood. I feel very blessed. I hope you have an opportunity to do the same.

In health,
Ian
