I just returned from a fabulous women’s retreat where I was invited to share my “What If Up” process.  I admit that I had planned to sneak in some “productive” work-time between activities.  But my laptop protested, and my fortune cookie said, “Relax and enjoy!” What a concept! 

What if taking time to “relax” every now and then actually makes us more productive?

What if creating “downtime” for yourself becomes as important as any other appointment on your calendar?

What if by “unplugging” from the busy-ness of your life, you are able to “plug in” to a power that is infinitely more powerful than sheer will?

“What if we truly believed there is a God — a beneficent order to things, a force that’s holding things together without our conscious control? What if we could see, in our daily lives, the working of that force?  What if we believed we could afford to relax?” – Marianne Williamson
