I was at a wonderful & intimate holiday office party at a local restaurant in DC. The atmosphere was lively and festive. Our table was full of great people and great conversation. One of them is an author of a new book which inspires others to take time to self reflect and rest. I became increasingly intrigued into the concept of her book called 'Sabbath Season' by Nichola Brown. For what I understand the essence is to take a 'sabbath' in order to reflect, think, and break from the normal activity to find yourself; yourself with who you are, and even in your relationship with God. I began to carefully listen to the wisdom flowing from this sister's mouth. Take a sabbath?!? I don't ever think I have thought of taking my family away for a sabbath. A sabbath could mean a weekend away. It could mean a week away or it simply at home on a particular night and we simply focus on 'us'. I really need to do this. But there was another lesson in all this....
