Amidst those feelings of gratitude, I started to think of how blessed I have been with friends this year. Earlier this year, I was struggling – struggling with the balance between work & life, and with a couple of friendships actually. But as difficult and hurtful as that situation was, I feel like I walked away with a lot more than I lost. Of course, it didn’t feel like it at the time. It’s just one of those situations where you look back and wonder why you hung on for so long.

And then some things happened this past weekend that have totally changed my perspective on life, family, and friendships. I don’t know quite how to explain it other than it was a feeling… or maybe it was an action that caused a feeling. Regardless – I am forever changed and forever grateful.

Some of these changes are already beginning to take effect in my life and business. For the first time – I am starting to feel some balance. **sigh** This is such an awesome and wonderful thing! For the past almost three years now – I have been fully engulfed in my business. It has consumed all my thoughts and time. So much so that I have completely pushed myself to the back burner. So I have begun working on some business changes to help establish some boundaries and save me some time. If you are interested in what changes will be taking place in the business, please sign up for the newsletter here….that’s how I will be announcing the changes.

So to those of you who have helped make my life a little brighter and less stressful (friends, family, and clients) – I thank you from the depths of my heart. Have a wonderful weekend!
