Over the course of the last month I was hired at the Girl Scouts as a Communications Manager, traveled to Maryland for a wedding (shout out to LA Beauty Beat on her nuptials) planned a surprise birthday party for my father-in-law, interviewed and hired a nanny for our little one, and are preparing for an event this weekend for a client. I am pooped! It is fast times but this chic needs to slooowwww doooowwwwnnn.

As I write this blog, I can barely keep my eyes open but I love our fans so much; I feel obligated to post. The bed is calling me but that will soon come.

When life starts to move in the fast line, sometimes I just let it do” its” thing and try to keep up. Most compliment me on my organization skills—that comes through planning events over the years– but at times, I just say “to heck with it” and let a another day pass. In most cases, it gets done the next day—well maybe. But the most important things are always done first and the rest remain on the “Things to Do List.”

But one day, while at home, I was looking at Regis and Kelly and Kelly said something that I’ve keep in the back of mind. To paraphrase, she said that rather than disappoint everyone all the time, she aims to disappoint people just a little everyday as she plans her day as a mother and wife. It’s the realization that she can’t do it all, all of the time. I thought this was such a good point, so true, and just plain hilarious. I comprehended it as: you can’t do everything great all of the time. But if you at least try to do your best, albeit mediocre, this is sufficient enough–my AHA moment!

With this said, I plan to keep things simple from here on out in my personal and professional life. I can’t do it all but when I do decide to do it—whatever the “it” is— it will be on my time and according to my will. It’s time to sloooowww down and smell the roses every once and a while.

Smooches,
