MISSION: Going Dark.
You know I love you. And you know I love this project.
But I am tired. So very, very tired.
I’m going to take a week or two off from the Secret Agent L Project, and I hope that’s okay. Lately, life has been extremely stressful for me, both personally and professionally (my day job nearly killed me yesterday), and I really feel like I need to do some major self-care for a bit. I don’t even have the internet at home, which means I have to stay late at work or come in early, or go to a coffee shop or bookstore where there’s internet, in order to post missions. With my day job being pretty stressful right now (lots of major projects with tight deadlines), the extra running around is taking its toll on me. But things will calm down in a couple of weeks at work, and I think I’ll be able to manage things again.
I also have speaking engagements and other obligations lined up over the course of the next couple weeks. I love it, but it’s a lot to manage on top of a full-time job, especially one that’s so stressful at present.
So for the next week or two, I need to spread kindness…to myself.
In the meantime, I hope you’ll continue to complete your missions and send them to me. And I hope you’ll know that I’ll be thinking of you while I’m “off the grid.” But fear not: I’ll be back soon. Rested and refreshed.
love,
Laura

Enjoy it, you deserve it!
Glad to see you taking a well-deserved break! Let me know if there is anything I can do to help! I’m not the *most* blog-savvy gal out there, but I can navigate through things pretty easily and I’m a fast learner.
Laura — it’s like the kids being left home alone for the first time — we’ll all be thinking of you and looking forward to your return — love to you!
you of all people should take a break. you’ve had one crazy year
Take Care of Yourself. No Exceptions.
we all love you. we all want to see you happy. take the time for YOU — remember the oxygen mask: put on your mask before you help anyone else. did i say that we all love you? cuz we do.
Rest, Relax, Retore, Refresh…..Return Rejuvinated!
Take Care & God Bless!!
Happy to see you showing yourself some self love! Rest and recuperate! Thanks for inspiring me!

Please take a break! I know from experience that you can suffer burn-out with even something you love when things get too stressful, or if you’re not taking time for yourself. The world needs you, L, so take care of yourself.
Seconding Laureen that this falls under the “put your own oxygen mask on first” rule. Enjoy your down time and relax!
Snuggle under the covers for a while & get the R&R you need! We love you too.
we love you back! i hope you have a fabulous time rejuvenating your self
*hugs*

Take a break and return refreshed. In the mean time, I did my first mission today. Perfect timing if I do say so myself.
Your health is parimount. Yes… take a break. Some sleep and you time will be just what you need. You cannot save save the world if you’re dead. Seriously. We will be here when you’re ready and healthy and willing.
Much love and prayers your way…

Be well, Laura! You are giving us all a shining example of “Be Kind: *NO EXCEPTIONS*” — that means being kind to ourselves and being able to give ourselves a break. Thank you for this, and for all else that you do to bring beauty, light, and love into a broken and hurting world. Blessings to you.
I just discovered you and this site – actually left 2 packages at the library yesterday – but would love to know what your “protocols” are and any tips for successful “agent work.”
If someone is willing to share that – well, guess I can post my email address to you.
Or maybe you should share in a post some “getting started” tips, if there is such a thing I haven’t found it yet.

PS LAURA TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!
Laura,
I’m literally sending you LOVE! Watch for a package
Thanks for everything you are and do. Enjoy your rest.

As you probably know from the email I just sent you, I just learned about your good works through the Reader Digest article about you.
After reading your story, I immediately starting spreading the word about you with my Facebook friends, newsletter subscribers and my popular blog. After I did that, I came back to your site to read your latest entry and found out that by ‘ spreading the word’ I am actually adding to your workload just as you are taking some time off for yourself. Sorry about that.
I am a retired executive of a major corporation, if there is anything I can do to help lighten your workload, let me know. I have the time, energy and passion to help people, like yourself, who are working hard to make our world a kinder and more loving place in which to live..
Warmly,
Frederick Zappone
