Day 3465 – Finding Joy In The Journey

At least half a year ago, I purchased a mug. The day I found it, I was wandering through a dollar store, a little ticked off. I had traveled to an appointment only to have said appointment canceled right before I was set to arrive. I then saw the mug (pictured below) and had to buy it.

I drink my coffee out of this mug and I love seeing the reminder to find joy in the journey, it is a reminder I need often. Building our business has been one of the most challenging and most rewarding things I’ve ever done. I am consistently needing to grow, stretch, mold, and meet the challenges.

After a pretty long day, Bret was encouraging me to remember just how far I’ve come, even in just the last few months. Reminding me of the stress of taking less calls versus how many we’re getting now…what once was completely overwhelming, is now normal and a part of my day.

I try to consistently keep in my mind when I’m starting to get stressed: “imagine how much this will help you grow, you will likely not recognize yourself in a few months.” My word/phrase for this year is Journey More, Stress Less.

I actually love the fact that life is not about each milestone, it is about the journey itself.

So friends, find joy in the journey you’re on today.

Day 2775 – Meeting Bret – or – Why Valentine’s Day Is So Special To Me

Valentine’s Day will always be special to me. Ten years ago today, I was snow bound at home. A massive snow storm shut down the state. It gave me ample time to read, relax, and work on my business. I spent some time writing in my journal and it was a pretty awesome moment when I realized that I was 100% ok with my singleness. I had struggled with wanting someone for soooooo long. How funny it is to look back and see how God was preparing my heart for Bret, who I met only two days later.

So glad I met ya Mr. G. 🙂
