Staying grounded amidst change

8/18/2015

 
Saying that things have been busy would be an understatement. Between business and family - there has been a lot of things in flux. 

What always helps me in times of chaos is a big piece of paper and a sharpie: I write down everything which is buzzing around in my brain. Clearing out my thoughts and seeing them on paper helps me organize them. It also helps me put things to perspective since all the noise in my head comes down to a few main changes or projects in my life. 

There have been many changes in my life, including what I self-identify as (female founder and CEO, wife) and changes have been coming so quickly that I needed to re-ground myself in who I am. (For example: whaaaat?!?!?! I'm on  CNBC?!?!?) The best way to do this? I drew a picture of myself:

I've never drawn many glasses, so I left them out since the rest of it turned out so well. I took a picture of it this morning to share with you.
