I hope you are all enjoying a balance of work and play this summer! My June and July were filled with trainings-- teacher training, running training and prenatal yoga training kept me very busy and focused. I purposefully kept August as wide open as possible so that I could finish out the summer feeling like I worked and played equally! The hardest part of keeping an open schedule is saying "no" when the possibility of something exciting or lucrative presents itself. But in saying "no," I'm making space to be more spontaneous, adventurous and creative, which is something I very rarely get to do!
I started to find my authentic voice through writing these monthly newsletters. Sitting down every few weeks to carefully consider what I wanted to share with all of you transformed into a deep love of writing. Many of you encouraged me to share my writing with a broader readership, so I did just that! Now, you can view all of my articles and blogs in one place by visiting http://www.meganridge.com/blarticles.html
