week in review

I been tired this past week.
Tired like a slug.
In bed, asleep by 8 pm. 
At the latest.
Sleeping in til 6:30,
which is like noon
in my world.

I did get my video in for B-School earlier in the week
Like floating on a cloud to Marie Forleo.
It was a life-changing experience,
even if I'm not doing B-School this year.
​But after that, I was done.

I try.
To just let myself rest.
Rejuvenate with sleep.
But sometimes it feels depressing.
This Portland rain doesn't help.
Seems like I have a week like this,
once a month.

Anyways,
Tired, yes.
Full days, yes.
Nothing left at night.
Sleeping hard and sound.

​And then it shifted
with Friday night.
I cried, danced, got my head on straight.
Got some time alone.
Saturday morning, woke up.
Did a work-out for the first time in a week plus. 
intenSati and Patricia Moreno are such a saving grace.
Work it out and get my head on straight.
intensati has connected me with the strength of me.

Saturday, went to a Memorial Service for a dear monk
and attended a fund-raiser for our new school building. 
​Back at it again on Sunday, but with energy renewed.

And the sun shone for us too.
Making all the difference.

I talked to my grandma,
who's getting close to 90
--and still wears heels
wherever she goes.

She asked me,
"Do you have a new friend yet?"
Long pause
--- for New York time.

"Uh, not really Gram.
I'm busy."

"Oh, that's too bad."

Yeah, I guess it is.

"Did you finish school?"

"Nope. I'm busy.
It's hard to fit it in."

Guess I'm busy.
Too busy for a man.
Too busy to finish that degree I been working on for 8 years.
But I keep on.

By Sunday evening,
I've scheduled a pod cast 
and two potential guest blog spots
on my story about parenting after child abuse.

It's crazy.
I notice this trend,
when I feel most exhausted,
I'm usually right around the corner
from my next breakthrough.

So here's to the week ahead.
Full charge.
Enough sleep.
Getting my stuff together.
​Thanks, Gram.

And here's to your next week of...
embracing the rejuvenation
that leads you
to your next breakthrough.

​And if you got a grandma still on earth,
​go give her a call.

xo,
Megan
