Breathing

“Mindful Breathing” and “Proper Breathing” information has been coming at me from many sources lately. I am practicing this to be more calm and also to reduce stage-fright (or more accurately Webinar-fright for a webinar 9/26). I am feeling some of the benefits, but need more practice.

Breathing techniques are free and available to the everyone who is, well, breathing. Breathing techniques help you live in the present moment, but of course, I’m thinking future – we should schedule time for this at Camp, for the girls (part of circle time?) and for us (mornings and/or kick off daily meetings) next year. Take a look at this Scientific America article for more information and let me know your thoughts. Proper Breathing Brings Better Health

Speaking of next year, we have some exciting plans underway. I’ll keep you up to date when the plans are firmed. Keep an eye in your mailbox for a question about if you’re planning to join in 2020 and the week would work for you. This year, July 4th is on a Saturday, so, should the first week by the 4th, 5th, 6th or the 11th? Rank your choices below. Hopefully we have enough travelers for two weeks in 2020!

Breathe (5 seconds in, 5 seconds out) back to the present . This year we’re requesting monthly “Prayers of the Faithful” for the Sisters, girls, or community as it makes sense. Last month we prayed that the girls has a successful start to their new school year! If you have ideas for October, let me know.

Thank you for reading! Don’t forget to breathe!
