Climbing the ladder – is it really worthwhile? Or is it more the way we do it? I began to wonder after I read a sobering article – “Heartstopper” – about heart disease in professional women, in the latest issue of PINK, a US magazine for professional career women.
Darren Rowse at Problogger.net recently asked what you do with your blog when you go on holidays. I'm wondering what you do with your blog when you are sick which I've been since October. When something had to give it was my blog, but now I'm back and ready to make up for lost time. Darren suggests we invite key people to be guest bloggers for the time we are away - a great idea for another time.
I did do quite a bit of thinking about sickness though. I was especially reflective on how we relate to it as women because in the end, after multiple tests came back clear, I self-diagnosed and began to improve. Due to a whole lot of biological and physiological experiences that characterise our lives - menstruation, pregnancy and birth, lactation and menopause, for example - we are forced to be very in touch with our bodies if we want to live richly and feel in control of our lives. We have the capacity to go into ourselves and connect, intuitively often, with what is happening there.
