When you have former Albertans in your circle that now live in BC that buy hats to send to their friends in London as a surprise and they take the time to share their reaction with you!
Are you still with me? Did I lose you in that explanation? lol.
Long and short of it, our hats arrived to some folks in London as a surprise, and they`re lovin` them and the `Albertan` gesture!
This week, I had the opportunity to take in a small business week event with a theme of resiliency.
The keynote touched on how tough small business ownership is and how you get through the tough days.
His advice: "Remember your why."
While I`ve heard those words before they landed differently.
For me, my why stems around "the little things."
Growing up on the farm while life was still busy and there was a lot of hard work, it moved at a different pace, and most of it was outdoors. I grew to appreciate all "the little things" mother nature and prairie life serves up on the daily.
Those "little things" are what still get me through my days, which move at a much faster pace now with 3 kids and several small businesses.
But that`s my why, if I can share, grow appreciation, and celebrate prairie life with others, and slow my own life down on the daily to stop and think and create designs that shine a spotlight on everything we have to be grateful for, that fires me up and keeps me going!
Just like this sunrise on an early Saturday, I managed to catch on the weekend taking my boy to the rink.
