Making Birthdays Special - Out of the mouth of Babes

Well here is the result of the first round of brainstorming. My nine year old daughter says... a birthday with all her favorite things would be a good day. She wrote me a list of all her favourite things. Her favorite color is red, favorite animal is a horse or a dog, her favorite toy is a stuffed toy dog, favorite card game is snap, favorite board game is Risk, favorite outdoor thing is swimming with the whole family, favorite meal is Spaghetti Bolognaise, favorite dessert is creamy icecream and peaches and dont forget the chocolate! So, what a list we have to work with!
Will keep you posted!

Stress City

This week has not been an easy one. A couple of days of sickness.....I actually had 2 days off work which is saying something... I think could count all the days I have had off sick in the last 10 years on the fingers of one hand. Most likely reason...stress...working full time while setting up a business is no easy task..... but really when I think about it, stress for me is not about the amount I have to do, it is not having the knowledge or the resources to do what is neccessary. It is also about the lack of balance.

It is really neccessary to relax and have fun especially when you are really busy...some how it recharges you. But also for me, stress comes from not being organised. Taking some time to organise one self especially when really busy sounds sensible but often is the first thing to go when you are really busy...taking some time each day to set aside to focus on who and what is important to you before you get going is essential. It helps with the way we prioritise our day and how we set and acheive our goals.

So I have some fun and relaxation to organise.... then some rework on my goals and priorities...
looking forward to a great weekend!
