I used to wish each stage in my children's lives would not pass by too quickly, until the next would come and I find myself enjoying it just as much, and wishing the same. Time in corporate has valuable learnings, but it sure outweighs them in its weight in pressures and the juggles of time. I learned the hard way that balance is a relative subject and the art of work-life integration is a more se
nsible goal in pursuit of happiness. I wish I had discovered a few of the gems in my now arsinol of tools a bit earlier for what it would have given me back in time. It was at 40 + vat only that I started realizing that the school of work and life holds more satisfaction when the chase is replaced with embrace of each challenge and joy, and that it is in fact the quality and embrace of the journey that gives more value to each goal. The gifts I get to live and share. So I followed my inquisitive learning hungry mind into the roller coaster rides of e-commerce and creation, and decided to give others access to what my chapters have yielded in wisdom, nifty novel tools, nurturing products, and whatever else they may draw inspiration from in stopping by. Even this chapter has brought me new friends and learnings as others embrace my creative spirit's experiments and co-create their own joyful outcomes in it. May you be inspired to love your story and live your brand on your own terms and in your own style!
