The folks at Beliefnet who watch over me and push the buttons to publish Chattering Mind will be off next week. This means that no matter how much I want to blog, I’ll have to enjoy my children, do some yoga, and see some holiday movies at the theaters instead.

But here’s what’s really cool: Chattering Mind is fast approaching her 1,000th post! We were planning a review of some early blog items anyway, since I was chattering and writing feverishly at the launch back when nobody (not even you, probably) was paying attention to me.

So we’ll run engaging, golden-oldie CM items next week, and label them “Best of Chattering Mind.” Then I’ll be back in the flesh at the beginning of the New Year, fresh as the green stubs of the daffodils that are poking up out of my garden due to this unseasonably warm winter weather here.

Blessings to you all as we head into the next months of our adventures together! I enjoy writing for you and hearing from you. This is the best job I’ve had in my life.

May you know peace in the coming days.
