Part of being at the top of your game is taking time to prepare yourself in the morning – mentally, spiritually, physically.  I have some morning rituals that help me to feel fulfilled and ready to go.  COFFEE of course is #1.  Then I like to take time to pray, give thanks, and possibly meditate.  Sometimes I take time to send a Gratitude email to myself with a list of everything I am thankful for that day.  Next I like to make my to do list for the day of realistic things I can accomplish that day.  Finally, I like to “check in” with friends, clients etc with email and Facebook.

What are your morning routines to get you ready for the day?

At a time when many people are setting New Year resolutions I find myself wanting to focus on foundation.  To me, you can’t reach higher then the strength of who you are.  Having your feet planted firmly in who you are is important.  I am excited to re-explore “who I am” “what I want” and truly THRIVING in my life!  For me the best gift of being an entrepreneur is the gift of freedom.  You are free to choose – how you spend your time, what projects you work on, your direction.  I feel myself wanting to hunker down back to basics: friends, family, faith.

Tonight I am starting a mediation class – something I have always wanted to learn.  Tomorrow I am starting a new bible study class.  Since my husband and I often work weekends doing wedding shoots for his Chicago wedding photography studio, it makes it difficult to get to church.  So I am really looking forward to getting reconnected to women on faith.

I have hired an awesome personal coach – someone I truly know, trust, and respect.  I am very excited to work with her!

What are you excited about this year? What are you doing to really nurture your soul and live your life to the fullest? I’d love to share this exciting journey with you!

Here’s to a great year filled with laughter, love, and many happy memories!
