Silent Summer
August 19th, 2010 | by Leanne Chase
Ahhh silence. It’s nice. I enjoy it. And it doesn’t make me uncomfortable as it does some others.
Which must be a good thing this summer as I have been writing/speaking much less than usual here and among the HR and work/life worlds. It’s not that I haven’t been busy…
We’ve bought a new home, tried to sell the old home, are renovating the new one, doing maintenance projects on the old one, finding our nanny a new part-time gig so we can keep her on as our little one gets ready for a new school, then being mommy more often when the nanny found a new gig quicker than expected. I’ve also been working on consulting projects, helping plan a fall conference tweet-up, visiting and counseling friends and vacationing with family.
But not writing.
Rest assured summer will end and so will the silence. But for now…take it easy and enjoy. And continue to make these same kinds of choices to balance your personal and professional sides.
Talk soon.
