Happy spring, Cynsational readers!

We’re taking a short break, and we hope that you can, too!

Wow, it’s hard to say no to more work these days. Though hope is on the horizon, most of us are still spending the majority of our time at home. Sometimes that translates into folks thinking that our unwinding time is up for grabs.

Our decision to embrace a winter hiatus, spring break and summer hiatus is a show of self-care, but it’s also our way of modeling that it’s okay to shift gears or hit PAUSE completely. Take care, stay safe! We’ll be back in touch soon!

If you miss us, you’re welcome to check in with Cynthia at Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn or with Gayleen, Stephani, Bree, and Gail on Twitter.
