I am thrilled by the opportunities coming my way in the next couple of months. Seriously, I am. I enjoy sharing my love of photography, writing, connecting and storytelling and knowing I get to do that by speaking at a few engagements is a blessing. I learned quickly you have to be careful what you ask for. You will most likely get it and it may come in abundance.

Life coming at you quickly can be overwhelming and I find it helpful to take a few moments to ground yourself. Meditating does not come easy to me, but I do take a few moments during the day to get quiet and center myself in the moment. Another helpful thing to do is to not accept anyone else’s chaos into your life.

For whatever insane reason, I believe some people enjoy living in a state of panic, complaint and chaos. And,they like having company. I don’t get down like that and avoid these types of situations and people as much as possible. I will listen and help out where I can, but I will not allow it to stress me out. That is not quality living.

In the coming weeks, I am focusing on building a new business, preparing for my speaking engagements, preparing for many work engagements and being a momma to my children. All of them take time and all of them bring their own forms of stress. All of them come at me at top speed, but I am not afraid. I welcome how each situation challenges me to be better and see the good in every situation.
