E85_Summer Break!

Black Zen and the Weekly Wellness

Think back to when you were in school, there were really only two important days - the first day of school and the last day of school. I distinctly remember organizing and re-organizing my pencil box and Trapper Keeper in anticipation! Fast forward to June and your girl was spent; I couldn't wait for that last bell to ring. While summer was uneventful (imagine your girls living in jammies watching The Price is Right and playing Monopoly for an entire two months), it did come with the promise of no classes, homework or study hall. It's a shame that as adults we no longer have these days to look forward to... or do we? I'd like to officially declare a summer break on #adulting! This is not to say we neglect our responsibilities, but we really should make an effort to feel that release of duty, obligation and expectation on some level, just as we did during those childhood summers. In an effort to practice what we preach, your Black Zen Team is reclaiming a summer break of our own! We're taking off the month of June for writing the Weekly Wellness editorial and producing the Weekly Wellness podcast. In European fashion, our vacation will be a month long. Your team will be back in July refreshed and pencils sharpened ready to jump back into the swing of things. We're taking this time off and we encourage you to do the same. And as the typical yearbook entry goes, have a great summer!
