At The Stroke Of Midnight It Happened! The time went by with a whimper, but it effect on me was PROFOUND! Sleeping in is a rare thing for me, yet I slept for just under 14 hours straight this Saturday The sleep brought much-needed rest and led to a huge breakthrough of thought for me (more on that later). In the days leading up to this Labor Day weekend, my mind (and soul) pushed me into taking a long weekend off. Most days my day begins at 5 am and wraps at 10 pm. Daily, nonstop, 7-days-a-week.
