Perception is everything, isn't it.

When you look at this picture, do you see weeds or 
flowers?



What if I told you a very sweet three year old boy went out in his yard and picked these especially for his grandma?

Perception is everything, isn't it.

I'll admit, when I look at my yard and see these yellow flowers peppered throughout the grass, it doesn't make me happy. They are a weed by all standards. Unless of course, one does not know that standard. 

Imagine if you will, not being familiar with dandelions popping up in unwanted places. You see a yard of green and yellow for the first time and you think its
b e a u t i f u l.

Until someone tells you they are not a welcomed flower here in Washington.

Be Courageous, Be Brilliant, Be You

with love,

Sue

4 Tips to Find Balance in Running a Business and a Family

I had the opportunity to share with Smart Creative Mompreneur's on Charlotte's fantastic site. 

Please stop by her wonderful blog and leave a comment.


4 Tips to find balance in running a business and a family

"Although we no longer have children living in our home, the memory of having three children, a husband, and building a business doesn't seem like it was that long ago.

When Charlotte asked me to write for the blog, I was eager to say yes, because having “been there and done that,” I knew this was an opportunity to look back and ask myself what I would have done differently during that time. I also knew this was a great opportunity to look at the things I did right.... "

The GREATEST thing that comes from filling your own cup 

is what you GIVE when the cup overflows.

Imagine with me if you will.....

An empty tea pot.

Beautiful cups waiting to be filled.

Now pour your pot and what do you give....emptiness, air, nothing that will benefit your guest.

This is how so many of us live our lives and run our business. We attempt to give without first filling our pot.

Now imagine that tea pot is full. So full it's overflowing. 

This is how we give with substance and matter.

My cup runneth over.

How then do we go about filling our pot so it may overflow?

1. Give to yourself.

Woa..you may be saying. That's selfish. NO, it is selfish to not give to yourself first.

By giving yourself love, grace, gratitude for who you are, gratitude for your wealth, your health, time to nurture your body and your soul, you are filling your pot with pure gold. As your pot begins to overflow you won't be able to help but give. And what you do give will have substance. Be authentic. From the heart and soul of who you are.

2. Receive from others.

This tends to be a hard one for many people and is so important. All too often we deflect someone's overflow.

When someone compliments you, do you receive it with a thank you or do you deflect it? When someone offers to do something for you, do you feel you owe them something in return? And how about from yourself, do you find yourself saying, "Damn I'm good at that"?

3. Give without any benefit to you.

When our cup runneth over, we give without any strings attached, not to get something in return. Shoot, when our cups runneth over giving happens so naturally that we often don't even realize we are giving.

4. Give what you would like to receive.

If you'd like to have more love in your life, give out more love. If you'd like more peace in your life, give yourself quiet time for peace. If you'd like more laughter and dancing in your life, begin laughing and dancing.

Watch and see...

Become aware.... If you've started laughing and dancing more you'll probably find more people laughing and dancing around you. 

There is a saying that if you give you shall receive. In the business world it's even coined as givers gain. Yes, these are true statements if used in the right context. Before you can give you must have something of substance to give. If not, you're just full of hot air.

As we dive deep into a season of giving, let us be of substance. Create and be from our hearts and from love. First for ourselves and then overflowing to others.

Today I received a gift from a family member who recently went through a major surgery. Here it is the holiday season and she can't talk, she's in a great amount of discomfort and pain, and she has a large amount of bruising and swelling. Within the text of her update from the doctor she ended with "remember I am a winner".

Please always remember, you too are a winner.

with love,

Sue
