Living In Awe

Hello all,

It has been a little while since my last post... I guess baby number three has taken more of my time than anticipated! I must say, I am loving every minute! And I can honestly say that she has given me so much more to be grateful for ~ which is the basis of today's post!

Have you ever noticed that a child will suddenly start laughing for no apparent reason at all? That they almost always have to skip or run where they’re going instead of walking? Or that they jump out of bed first thing in the morning already excited about their day?

Why do they do it? Because they stand in absolutely AMAZEMENT of it all.

I want to be like that again. And I’ve taken steps toward that life by consciously seeing how incredible everything in my life is. I don’t just mean the big things.

For instance, I love hearing my girls come into my room every morning and feeling their kiss (that has to be the best alarm clock in the world!)
I love seeing them play and laugh everyday.
I love walking with my family on a sunny day, and picking flowers with the girls.
I love enjoying dinner out with Mark... and spending much of the time talking about our wonderful kids!
I love cheese while sipping red wine.
I love a nice cocktail!
I love watching Alana and Livia eating a mint slice... biting all the way around the edge of the biscuit first.
I love watching Livia peel the skin off banana - in rings, the only way she will eat them.
I love seeing Alana paint her nails with a big smile on her face.
I love seeing Elise wake with smile and giggles.
I love how Elise is now snuggling and starting to give me big kisses.
I love sitting in the backyard watching Mark and the girls play on the trampoline or jumping castle.
I love watching a good movie with Mark and losing ourselves in it for 90-120 minutes.
I love that I can be at home with them each and every day.
I love our daughters with all my heart and am so blessed to have been chosen to be their mother.
I love Mark, everything about him and that I can be married to my best friend.
I love having great food each day.
I love having great friends and having people in my life to look up to.
I love that I can work towards making myself better every day.
I love being at the beach, and feeling the sand in my toes.
I love seeing how big the girls are growing.
I love holidaying at luxurious destinations around the world with my family.
I love that you are reading this post!

.... I feel I could go on all day. I encourage you to make a similar list of all the things you love and make a decision to look at each day in awe. You will see how it really is the little things you are blessed with make you the happiest! What an amzing day!!

Living in today in awe!

Woman Entrepreneurs... Setting The Pace!

Women today, have a much more entrepreneurial, gutsy spirit, than they did 40-50 years ago. I have been a successful entrepreneur since 2005, and I have seen for myself the number of women that take bold step into the world of entrepreneurship, often driven by the desire to spend more time with their families, and these women are setting the pace for what is possible, for women and men alike.

When I began having children, that is precisely what led me to this wonderful world of being an entrepreneur! I wanted to be home with our children, but needed to make some extra income to do so. So, like many young mum's, I looked for a way to do that and entered the wonderful world of being an entrepreneur. Looking back over my 5+ years I wouldn't have it any other way!

There are so many benefits to being an entrepreneur, especially when you work from a home office.

-set your own schedule

-work around your family commitments

-volunteer at your children's schools and extra events

-take the time off during your children's school holidays and really be present with them

-be home with your children if they have a sick day

-no day care fees

-life balance

-less stress

-literally choose your own 6 figure income

-time to travel

-total freedom ~ time & financial

In today's world, there are so many opportunities to be able to create a business from home and with the support of technology today, you can literally do business all around the globe, while being at home with the people you love most.

As I write this blog article, I am amazed still at how incredible it is to be able to sit here in front of my laptop, coffee in hand, children all happily asleep (after another day I was fortunate enough to spend with them), listening to some beautiful background music. There is no need to run around, jumping to every order that the corporate world dishes out, just to make a living. I have learned that we work to make our family life better so that we can do the things we want to do, with the people we love most. Many people in society have this backwards - many people are working so long and so hard, that they have lost touch with their family - they are working to survive. Many people have literally lost touch with why they are even working - they are in survival mode. Put your family first - find a way to make your family life better and a business that supports that - there are SO many options available today!

I encourage every women reading this post that has the desire within them to take that next step - Do not let fear, past conditioning or limiting beliefs hold you back. Do not be swayed by family or friends that might give you "their best advice" to stay in your "secure" job. Follow your heart, that is your guiding light! When you are following your own guiding light, you can never go wrong. Becoming an entrepreneur has been, and continues to be, one of the most rewarding things I have ever done - I am grateful to my children - for if it wasn't for them coming into our lives, and being inspired to be home with them, I may not have discovered that there are other options than working a job your entire life.

Contact me today, I would love to discuss your goals and how you can achieve them!

To Your Success!
