When it’s all too much
“If you feel too much, there’s still a place for you. If you feel too much, don’t go. If this world is too painful, stop and rest. It’s OK to stop and rest. If you need a break, it’s OK to say you need a break.” ~Jamie Tworkowski
While I’m on a break, I invite you to explore the “Life Lines” site on your browser, which shows many additional features and articles that aren’t included in your email subscription. Meanwhile, I hope that you, too, will find ways to nourish your soul if you’re feeling “too much” and you need time off. ~CL
UPDATE (2/25/25): Thank you for your encouraging emails and comments during my break. You’ll hear back from me soon!

Thank you, Cindy. I feel the same way! I’ve been wondering what is wrong with me. And you are right, I feel too much, too! Hearing what you are experiencing, makes me feel, not so alone in this crazy world, we are living in, right now. I hope your rest helps you. Love your articles. You are a bright spot, in all of it! Love, Candy
