I wavered back and forth between 'peace' and 'less' as my word for 2026.
In this season of my life, I truly want more of what I do want, and less of what I don't want and I am finally 'there' to make that happen for myself. But peace is what I am truly after.
After years of starting and growing my own businesses (about 15 to be exact), I am more keen on starting them for others and guiding their decisions and path than I am about re-creating the wheel for myself. I remain passionate about small business, kids and family and education, but I am ready to find my 'peace' within it all.
That, coupled with 11 years of having small children, homeschooling and navigating COVID, health "stuff" and ... 'ya know, just life, I am embracing the calm.
I am saying yes to rest more than I ever had and protecting my energy at all costs.
I used to be terrible about protecting my boundaries; calling in payroll while at the zoo with my family, responding to emails with a 3 day old infant next to me, thinking I had to (and actually did) say 'yes' to every exciting opportunity that presented itself to me.
But, there comes a time where you have to say "I did enough" I paid off my mortgage, have funds growing in investments and ... it's time for a cruise control year.
2026, you are the year of peace.
Peace with my choices, peace with my kids and family, and choosing me whenever I can.
More quiet, slow mornings, longer coffee chats, 8 hours of sleep, feeling ok saying 'no'...
If you want to be here too, I am still keeping some time and energy open for new clients. I'll show you how to grow and/or how to get here too.
