Everyone talks about their “whys”… for me, thats easy…it’s these guys…all of them. ALL.of.THEM! Its no joke…we are a lot of people. I don’t do anything that I do in my life, not one thing…that isn’t tied into my little wolf pack. It is all for them! I am extremely lucky (and trust me I am thankful every single day) that I get to do what I love, I am…but I don’t do it because I want to work, or because I yearn for success, or because I ever dreamt of being an entrepreneur or a working mother of 4. Nope its none of that…its simpler than that. I do it for these guys. So I can be here..so I can raise them..so I can have flexibility…and yes so that I can make a living. For me, working hard has never been an issue. I jump head first, feet first, whatever’s first into all that I do. What I do struggle with is balance. See I never planned for any of this really. My blessings and successes just kept coming (including this amazing family that is mine!)…So here I am a working mother of 4 busy kids, a wife, a friend, a daughter, a business owner, a niece, a cousin…all of the above…
The end of the year always gives me pause. The past few years especially, because I have gotten my ass kicked (in a great way) by an amazing amount of business. So here I am on December 18th…sleep deprived, in need of a shower and a shovel taken to my house..and I am beyond grateful, but also in need of some perspective (and sleep and snuggle time with my family)….ha. So what will 2016 bring? Oh lots I am sure. But for me #1 is going to be not missing more than I humanly have to of my littles (and not so littles) lives… and balancing that with continued success for Silver Orchid. Balance…thats what I’m asking Santa for! Peace out 2015…I am going into hibernation mode. I’ll see ya’ll sometime around January 9th or so <3 My Savanah Grace with the beautiful face. My jock. My hunter. My pretty young lady. My Michaela Rosie Lou. Always smiling. Always quick with the comebacks. My gymnast. My Gavin…my only boy…by buddy. My handomest. And my Aliyah baby…my keeps-me-on-my-toes and keeps me laughing Simply. My rock. The love of my life. My pita. My I could never life without. My world! My whys<3
