SABBATICAL

Beloved Community,

The winds have changed so it is time for me to adjust my sails. As the captain of my ship, it is necessary for me to readjust my course.

This has been a longtime consideration that became boldly evident these past few weeks. I had made a vow from the beginning that I would continue on this path as long as I was passionately and enthusiastically meeting my needs for contribution and I was able to express myself spiritually, honestly, heart-fully and authentically. That has not been the case this month.

Due to chaos, exhaustion, distractions, personal challenges, over commitments, accumulated long overdue unfinished projects, the painful recent loss of my furry companion, the strong
need to reconnect with neglected relationships and a soul that needs nurturing and tending to,
I will not be writing a May newsletter. Presently I am uncertain of nor able to measure the value of my efforts which have been slowly wearing on me mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually and financially.

My respite is indefinite – it may be weeks, a month, several months, or permanent. Whatever time is needed for this inward journey will be revealed. I am confident the shifting of my sails
is guiding me to my highest and best good, even though it does not look nor feel like that at
the moment.

For now, the Nurture a Child website will continue to list current ongoing events and send occasional email updates in response to readers’ requests or announcements. Feel free to send in information about your events and to check the site regularly for new listings. www.nurtureachild.com

I am eternally grateful for your ongoing responses, feedback and heartfelt love and support during this past year and a half. You have consistently and lovingly opened your hearts and minds creating a sacred space for me to voice my heart’s vision for children.

I now dedicate this time to personal reflection, rejuvenation, renewal and replenishment. Your continued email correspondences are welcomed yet I may not respond in a timely manner since I choose to spend less and less time at my computer.

Lovingly and compassionately from my heart,
Adrian Reznik

In loving memory of Dezzy
