“There are times when we stop. We sit still… We listen & breezes from a whole other world begin to whisper.” It’s good to take time to be still, to listen, to just be. I made the mistake last year of filling my calendar with every possible shoot or meeting that would come my way. I was busy. Really busy. I glorified the word “busy” and would proudly share how full my calendar was. As good as I thought that felt, to have that full schedule, the reality was I felt run down and over- worked. I missed out on spending time with my loved ones. That’s something I’m just not willing to miss out on anymore.
I made it a goal this year to take breaks, be still, and focus on what really matters. To me, that’s spending time with my family and friends. So I’m taking days off every month to go on trips, have fun, and be with the people I love the most. This past weekend I did just that. My mom and I packed up my car and headed to Door County for a girls’ getaway weekend! Door County is one of my favorite places on this planet. Just being there puts my mind at ease.
Make time for what’s really important. Don’t let your obligations define you. This is your one life, make the most of it!
