I’m entering March with renewed energy and inspiration.
I must admit it feels really good.
2007 was a difficult year. My surgeries and other personal trials and tribulations really zapped my energy.
That’s why it’s so important to know “when to say say when.” In February, when I had my nasty bout of flu, I believe it was my body finally telling me to take it easy. I listened – mostly because I had no choice.
Once I recovered, I knew it was time to do something for me. Hence, the trip to Montana.
Not only did I visit with one of my longest and dearest friends, Shana, I also had the opportunity to share time with a new friend.
It’s always wonderful to see Shana. I hope you have lifelong friends who feel like home and make you laugh uncontrollably. The kind you know you can always count on.
Plus, spending time with my new friend brought back a part of me that seemed to be missing. I was reminded of the importance of fresh air and just getting out and moving. Quite honestly, it was hard to come home.
I sincerely hope you are making room for new experiences in your life.
You may wonder what my point is. Never fear, there is one. For those of you who work at the computer day in and day out, I think you can relate to the cooped up feeling.
Often, there is so much work it feels overwhelming. So, we may not take the time to do what we need to do for ourselves.
Here’s my point -
Take care of you. Do things that bring you joy. Make sure you have a healthy balance of work and play.
It’s that simple.
I feel absolutely blessed that my business allows me the freedom I need. Having the ability to grab my laptop and work from anywhere in the world is truly amazing.
I wish you the same. May you go forth and create a life you absolutely love.
Oh, and stay tuned for future travels in 2008. I’m off to Europe and Bali this year and I’ll keep you posted on my travels.
