It's time...

to get your life back.

 

For the past year the number one goal of my life has been to reclaim my life from my business.  As many entreprenures know, it's easy to become completely submerged in growing a successful business.  You spend a lot of time, work, blood, sweat, and tears making it happen.  One day you realize that you've given up a lot to get where you're at.  Sometimes, you wonder if the opportunity costs may have been too high.  That's the day things change or you can keep going at the rate and speed you've been going.

For me, that was the day things changed.  I knew I didn't want to keep living a life where I seldom saw my kids and when I did I rarely enjoyed my time with them. Mostly, I spent my time fretting about what I should be doing for my clients instead of sitting and reading with my sweet kids.

Since that day I've been making changes and I'm loving the chance to be a mom, a wife, a business owner, and a photographer.  Changes always come at a price and this price has been worth it.

So...I want to share my discoveries with you and hope that these LOVE. LIFE. TIPS. will help you out.  Whether you're a single person looking for more ways to add meaning to your life, a mom with not enough time and too much work, a business owner who is drowning in the responsiblities and stresses of being successful, or just want to be more aware of your life I hope you'll find some help in these posts.

Stay tuned!

be. LOVE.

Davina - What a great idea... so many people are in that same stage of their life, to busy for the things that are really important. Their focus is totally screwed up and i am glad to hear you are realigning them in the right direction and helping them take back their life!
