I’m grateful for your post featuring my unplug/embrace rest tweet, as I wrote that tweet from the heart. For many (me included) the constant chatter and door-knocking of email, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Blackberries, iPhones, telephones and so forth are consuming.

Though I agree the weeks and months leading to the holiday are not excuses to ‘take a break’ from job search and other meaningful business initiatives, I DO believe a day ‘here and there’ to COMPLETELY be technology-free is rejuvenating, healthy and necessary.

Miriam, your friendship and business collaboration are MUCH appreciated this holiday season … and year-round. It is almost hard to believe we only met this past year, via Twitter!

Thanks again for all you do for the careers community and for the multitude of job seekers seeking nourishment, encouragement and guidance.

Jacqui
