“I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides. I honor the place in you, where lies your love, your light, your truth and your beauty. I honor the place in you, where…if you are in that place in you … and I am in that place in me…then there is only one of us”

– Leo Buscaglia

In honor of simplifying my life, I have decided to intentionally go on an internet hiatus from June 27 through July 8. I’m sure I will experience some symptons of withdrawal at first since the internet is my primary vehicle for information (email, facebook, marketwatch, blog stats, etc) and since my blog is one of my primary creative outlets.

I will be online over the next 12 days, but it will be limited and more of an exception than a regular part of my routine.

So if you are visiting CreateaBalance.com during my adventure of reclaiming my offline time, I welcome you (actually I plead, beg, and insist that you) leave me juicy comments that I can read when I return from my hiatus.

While you are joyfully perusing my blog (and leaving me tons of smashing comments) I will be spending more time writing in my paper-based journal, walking on the beach, meditating, swimming, playing with my kids, and painting.

Don’t forget to look for my June 2008 edition of my Life Balance Report during the week of July 7.

Namastey. L’hitraot. Until July.

  • I’ll start the ball rolling! though I don’t think this is very juicy. This morning – after looking around at my messy house and piles of paper to be dealt with, I also considered taking an internet break.

    One little complication is that I need to be online for my work. I wonder if I could be so disciplined as to only use the computer for my work?

  • Hey I do like your blog and would like to exchange links with you.I have 10 websites and we could exchange
    here

  • Hi, I know this sounds random, but I was reading your blog and was wondering if you would like to increase the traffic you get on your blog? I recently used a blog expansion system known as Expand For Free, which was very simple to use. Just go to expandforfree.blogspot.com and drop your blog name and URL. I would really appreciate it if you could mention that you were referred to by Jot by Jot because they give special promotions to referrals.

  • Hi, Would you like to exchange links with me?
    I’ll reciprocate by linking to your blog. Thanks. http://projectheavytraffic.blogspot.com

  • Like the Website! I hope your time off filled you with much joy and inspiration. It’s good to get yourself in perspective sometimes by stepping away from the computer.

    Great Site

  • And where’s my blog link?Let’s get going on it! I’ll have to think on the simplifying thing and blog it too….maybe running to 18 activities a week is too much….
