		<description>Greetings Mari!

I totally agree with you about unplugging.  I personally many hours answering emails, facebook messages, wall posts and phone calls.  It gets very overwhelming at times.  We have to all unplug at one point to rejuvenate ourselves.

Enjoy your retreat.

		<description>[...] Mari Smith announced last week that she was embarking on a 2 month speaking tour and unplugging herself from facebook, twitter and her inbox.  And I greatly admire her for her brave and bold decision to do this.  Her business will no doubt flourish even further than it has done already as she will have the opportunity to embrace new opportunities and perhaps, even turn her business on its head.

		<description>Mari, what a great lesson you are teaching. Thank you! I always tell people they can&#039;t pour from an empty cup and how they need to pamper themselves, yet I take my laptop on vacation. Thank you for setting a great example for others to follow.
Enjoy!

		<description>Wow...I sure notice you not being around this week. It is such a pleasure to get your tweets and they are definitely missed....although of course us mentees are glad you are taking the week to get ready for us. So thrilled to be a part of the Mentor with Mari program. It is going to rock! Look forward to hearing from you when you are ready :)

		<description>Hey! Have fun!
One have to have a break from all the excesive amount of communications and information pour on you, otherwise you might drown. Taking a break gives a refreshed point of view.

I know that at least I need to do it more often. What about you?</description>

		<description>Good for you Mari. Sometimes the most meaningful moments in life are when one takes time to stop doing and just BE.

I wish you the best.

		<description>Congratulations, Mari!  Time to re-charge, re-fresh, re-start, and be the more awesome you that you&#039;ll become.

You have been a fountain of wisdom, leadership and tons of fun along the way.  

I can&#039;t wait to see the new version of what you and your business will become to stay in &quot;superb&quot; service of the folks you love to serve.

I&#039;ll &quot;see&quot; you soon.

Big hugs,

Ali
