For the Rest of My Life

I’m meditating on rest this blessed dayclean, and the role resting can play in helping me achieve the mission of my life. I give thanks on the daily that my investments in education and experience have allowed me to shift and really transform the way I work and live.

I believe the American work week and work ethos is deeply rooted in Eurocentric male-dominated perspectives, and is very closely linked to marginalization, extraction, and exploitation. But times and perspectives are changing, I love to see how the ‘young folks’ are insisting on a more appropriate balance of work time and rest time in life and I’m here for it - for the rest of my life. Somebody cue up the wonderful Karyn White: I’m a queen but I’m not a Superwoman and I need my rest! #RestOfMyLife
