Many of you are women entrepreneurs, and maybe you find yourself sitting there saying so what?
Why should I care about this stuff anyway?
I'm up to my ears in an effort to find a balance between my work and my family.
I just don't have time to even think about this self care stuff.
And stress? Well it just comes with the territory. If I didn't realize that, I wouldn't be in this business in the first place.

Women entrepreneurs are innovators, risk takers, and unlike male entrepreneurs, they have a big mission they are working to share with the world. And that's where you tell yourself you get your daily dose of happiness. When you feel you are making a difference, when you see your mission coming to reality you say - that's what makes me happy. But I'd be willing to wager, that is what gives you a sense of satisfaction. And satisfaction is NOT the same as happiness.

I saw a sign in a pub once that read
"FREE BEER TOMMORROW".
I think women entrepreneurs, especially mompreneurs wear a sign that reads "I'll be happy tomorrow".

Maybe I sound like a broken record. Maybe I sound young and naive - by the way I'm over 40. Maybe I sound like Bobby McFerrin.

But I'll tell you what, if you ask anyone that talks to me, I'm one of the happiest people they know. And I'm always that way. Part of that is because I choose it, every day. Some days I have to choose it over and over. But a really big part of it is the things I share with all of you. The things in the article excerpt above.

I have a "me place" in my home.

I light candles almost every day (it helps that I get them all for free of course - I can hook you up too - ping me)

I take time every day to be fun, be spontaneous, be silly.

I laugh every single day. Some days I feel like I can't stop laughing.

I surround myself with like minded people who lift me up.

I say "YES" to me at least once a week, that may be a massage, a bottle of wine with my best girlfriend, a soak in the tub, a great read in a cozy chair. Whatever my choice, it's something that I do for me and no one else with no guilt and no regret.

So why should you care?

Nothing runs on burnt out batteries
Wouldn't you like more joy in your life EVERY DAY?

Don't you deserve to receive the type of care you give to and demand for those you love?

If you were talking to your sister, mother, best girlfriend and she was stressed out and about to burst, what advice would you be giving her right now?

Today is the day to be HAPPY! We're never guaranteed tomorrow. Have big dreams and goals and aspirations, but don't put your happiness on hold until you get there.

C'mon get happy!

If you've forgotten how, we SO need to talk! I can totally help you get your giggle on!!
