Today was historic, and a once in a lifetime event for some who witnessed the moon passing between the earth and the sun within the path of totality. For the rest of us, unable to journey to the 70-mile band between the coasts, did you pause, take a break and behold the Great American Eclipse? Or were you in an office answering endless email, hopping on conference calls or “dialing for dollars”?
8/21/17 for me was an opportunity to be part of and celebrate something bigger. It was significant to feel the energy from the brief 2 minutes and 40 seconds of collective awe across the United States. It was a moment to share with my family and other people who were curious, and couldn’t stop looking up for fear they might miss one second of this wondrous event.
Even if science or an Eclipse isn’t “your thing” or you found yourself stuck in unavoidable meetings, today was a reminder to pause. Take time to recharge, if only for 2 minutes and 40 seconds, and prioritize you.
