Today I spend the afternoon at the pool with my youngest son, Dean. The constant running around can be hard when juggling staying at home with kids and working from home. And simply put, kids need that one on one attention!
And so we played.... no phone and or computer in sight! As much as Dean was needing mama-time, I realized I had been needing it, too! After a full morning of focusing my attention on Dean, I found it much easier in the late afternoon to get a bit of work done.
Regarding the work I'm doing, much like life itself, change is all around me. For example, it looks like on of my events will be postponed till November, instead of the original September date. Instead of feeling stressed or disappointed, I'm finding a lot of relief in this development. The more I learn about putting on really amazing and successful events, the more I realize there are times to push extra hard to meet goals, and there are times to slow down, and not take on more than I can handle. Its easy to get caught up in the pressure of being a Super Woman: juggling motherhood, family life, work, and still finding time for myself. I really feel strongly about making sure each aspect of my life, including the events I do, are not done sloppily and are really high quality and reflect the amazing organizations and designers I support. So, change can be stressful, but if dealt with properly, can be a blessing!
And in other exciting news....I was actually able to get emails done while Dean slept in the car! Thank god for my phone! I'm all about carving out some time here and there when I can....hurray for multi-tasking!
So, currently, SO looking forward to the two events in August... and then the Grand Opening for Sophie Chang! Everytime I start to feel overwhelmed, I am reminded of how lucky I am to never have ANY shortage of amazing things to look forward to.
Much love to my readers, supporters and friends. You keep me inspired!
