It has been a quiet week here at Words For Hire.  As everyone turned their attention to Easter, Passover and spring break it was an excellent time to slow the pace, and flow with the rhythm.

When I first started my businesss, I never took time off around the holidays. One year on January 1, I realized that everyone else had taken off and I really could have taken advantage of the slow down to rest. Of course I realized it the day before everyone came back renewed, refreshed and ready to kick it into third gear!

I’m now older and a little wiser. I’ve learned to tune in and when the pace is slowing, I enjoy it by slowing down too.  Without the barrage of emails and activity this week , the work pace felt downright leisurely. I even managed to make some headway on brand new personal projects.

I hope that you’re enjoying a bit of a breather this week too. But before you take off for the weekend please pop over and wish my dear friend Joanna Young a Happy Blog Birthday! In two short years, Joanna has built a thriving blog community that has taken it’s rightful place as one of the leading writing blogs.

Robert Hruzek’s latest group writing project, What I learned From Adversity is open until Sunday at midnight. Group Writing Projects are an excellent way to stretch your writing muscles, meet other bloggers and have some fun.

Today is my Gran’s 90th birthday. We’re having a family gathering to celebrate on Saturday. Sunday, will be church as usual and on Monday I will be lounging in my PJ’s watching cartoons! I’ll resume the normal schedule on Tuesday. Have a wonderful Easter, Passover and weekend!

Got  any fun plans this weekend?
