Remembering to stop to smell the roses

Lately, I feel like I’ve been running as fast as that Energizer Bunny. In between working full-time at my current company as well as doing everything necessary to launch my own company, my time is definitely scarce.

There is research, reaching out to people I know as well as people I don’t know to set up phone calls and meetings for advice and guidance. In addition, creating content for the website, learning all about the various forms of social media (yes…..I am veryyyyyyy old school but now becoming rather savvy in the tech world…….clearly such a late bloomer).

alinaYesterday, my amazing cousin’s second baby girl was born.

Holding this little bundle of joy reminded me that stopping to smell the roses, taking a break and enjoying the moment is SOOOOOOOOO important. It’s hard to see when you are wrapped up in your own bubble (which I am often guilty of)!!! Now, when I see this picture, it will be a clear reminder that sometimes, it’s okay to step back, pause, reflect and enjoy the moment.
