Not Enough White Space

Yes, it’s been a while since I wrote in here, and I’m sorry.
I say that more for me than anyone else, not just because I don’t think many are reading this (yet), but because I need to do this for myself.
My life has become out of balance with not enough white space.
Oh, I know it is my fault, and I need to remember that white space is not blank space.

In writing, white space is needed so that the words do not fill up the page completely making it daunting for the reader.
The white space is meant to be a part of what has been read, giving time for the reader to absorb the meaning and not feel so overwhelmed with information that you just stop reading altogether.

My life has gone the way of no white space.
Me, filling up all the areas with so much, that life has become overwhelming to the point of no longer getting its meaning.
I want so bad to make things happen and all that’s happening is I’m so busy that I can’t make things happen.
Moving so fast has made me a slow on the uptake. My thoughts are all over and my energy is drained.
Finding a balance would be wise; and that’s what I need to do, tap into the “wise woman” life has helped me become.
So, I will heed my own advice and leave “white space” allowing for reflection on the “birthing” of my newest baby-an e-zine called "For Wise Women."

I hope all will join me in the excitement and creative energy this new “baby” will bring!
