“My dear friend, Bonnie, is a person who rests and, consequently, earned my ire early in our relationship. Her ability to rest eventually taught me incredibly valuable lessons about the art of taking time-outs. To this day, Bonnie is astutely aware of times when her energy dips too low and resolutely honors her need to rest. To boost her energy, she's been known to sit quietly with a cup of tea, adjourn a workshop we were co-facilitating to take a five-minute breather, or slip out of her own wedding reception to be restored by a few minutes of solitude in the sun.” NeedsPersonsArtEnergyAbilityKnownSunFiveMinutesTaughtHonorLessonsSolitudeLowsDearValuableCupsTeaThis DaySlipsOur RelationshipTake TimeFive MinutesWorkshopsBoostDipCups Of TeaDear FriendReceptionValuable LessonsWedding Reception Author:Sue Thoele
