EILEEN MCDARGH'S
Resiliency Report
Published monthly and when the mood strikes.
Update from Eileen
Dateline: Mammoth Mountain, Eastern Sierras. Mid-October
It had been three years since we ventured some seven hours from home to take a break. But this mountain community seemed different than times past. Restaurants were closed or being remodeled. Entire blocks of hotels had been torn down, making way for who-knows-what. Dining hours were shorter. And the gondola to take us to the mountain top was closed until the “shoulder season” was over.
“Shoulder season”???
We discovered that this is a travel industry term. It's defined as the time between the high and low travel seasons at a specific destination. It’s a time to regroup, to remodel, to take time off, to oil machinery and to rethink what we want when the “high” season begins.
Sounds like a perfect plan for me, too. What if I—if we— created a shoulder season now until the new year? What if we use this shoulder season of November and December to regroup, remodel, and re-think? What if we oil our mental, emotional, and physical resources so we enter 2023 clearer, stronger, and committed to make a world that works for all. What if we took time to really clarify our purpose? Our Why? **
That’s what I am going to do. You won’t hear from me until 2023. I am announcing my shoulder season. Here’s my challenge to you: can you make this a shoulder season for yourself? What will you do—or not do? Please email me: Eileen @eileenmcdargh.com I’d love to know. You might give me ideas I can use.
Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Hannukah. Happy Kwanza. Merry Christmas.
Until 2023…
Eileen

Let’s Start a Shoulder Season
November/December 2022
Just to make you laugh!
“The starting pay is $40,000. Later it can go up to $80,000.” Great. I’ll start later.”
Trust the science. Studies show that if your parents didn’t have children, there’s a high probability you won’t either.
Driving Tip: Save the business cards of people you don’t like. If you accidentally hit a parked car, just write, “Sorry” on the back of the card and leave it on the windshield.
When I get a headache, I take two aspirin and keep away from children just like the bottle says to do.
Seriously? “Your call is very important to us. Please enjoy this 40-minute flute solo".
I envy people who grow old gracefully. They age like fine wine. I’m aging like milk: Getting sour and chunky.
