Comments on: There Is No Try – Do Or Do Not http://ruthannharnisch.com/the-philanthropist/there-is-no-try-do-or-do-not/ Wed, 28 Jul 2010 22:46:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Shannon Scharber Austin http://ruthannharnisch.com/the-philanthropist/there-is-no-try-do-or-do-not/comment-page-1/#comment-121 Shannon Scharber Austin Sat, 02 Jan 2010 02:21:48 +0000 http://ruthannharnisch.com/?p=354#comment-121 LOVE it! I'm having a baby any moment now...does maternity leave for four months count as a sabbatical? (In spite of the demands, it sounds like kind of a breather to me from full-time telecommuting and part/full-time mothering a four-year old.) I have one goal for mine that sounds simple but is probably going to be hard as hell: To stop doing things out of a constant compulsion to "be productive" -- which was hammered into me from a young age. Best wishes to you for time inevitably well spent! You deserve it! Shannon LOVE it! I’m having a baby any moment now…does maternity leave for four months count as a sabbatical?
