Let's chat about taking a break. In case I haven't mentioned it, I am the "Stresschat Mama"(to be read with a James Brown voice instead of I am the cause of stress:)). Clients come to me with various issues that cause them stress. Our brains are not wired for chronic stress and if we don't take breaks periodically from the stresses, we get ill.
I decided to practice what I preach so we went to a cottage near Parry Sound called Whisperwood. It sits on 91 glorious acres of pine forest and has it's own private lake. I had forgotten what night looks like and what quiet sounds like.
We snowshoed, hiked, watched a million DVDs, cooked wonderful food and slept.
One morning, I got up early to let the dog out and the snow was lightly falling through the pines. It looked like miniature crystals floating towards earth.
If you ever find your way near Parry Sound, check out the cottages. You are in for a true rest.
