Summer Boot Camp 2012 ... last day!

What?!! It's over? ....
Phew.... I made it.

On Day 2, the five days ahead of us stretched out. Day 4 ... time began sprinting.
And suddenly we find ourselves at the end of this glorious week at Grove House.

We're sorry it's over. But it's a good stopping place.
(notice we're not talking about endings ... because this goes on).

We're ready to decompress over the weekend, easing back into  messy reality with our multiple roles and responsibilities, unpredictability, and, always, a little chaos at the edges. But we hope with the strategies we've gleaned through the practice and reflection this week, and through the exchange of insights and ideas in break-time and reflection conversations, we are equipped to re-enter our lives with new patterns of action for getting work done.

Lessons learned:
be kind to yourself
write in small chunks
stop 
.... and breathe
keep writing
take breaks
laugh a lot
talk about your work
eat beautiful colourful food
keep writing
reflect and sharpen your practice
find your full-throated scholarly voice
keep writing...


THANK YOU TO OUR FABULOUS GROVE HOUSE CREW!!
for the nutritious, delicious food
so beautifully made and presented
