Yesterday, Michelle and I were interviewed for Shaw TV by Meera Bahadoosingh. I believe the video will be aired today sometime, although I don't have an actual time. In addition, it will be posted on their website - here. It's fun and reflective to talk about times gone by, how Tiber came to be and what inspires our products. While I was I waiting for Michelle to be interviewed, I glanced at the girls' appointment sheet. On it, someone had written this -
Health is not just the absence of disease. It's an inner joyfulness that should be ours all the time; a state of positive well-being. - Deepak Chopra
I was so struck by this simple yet extremely poignant thought. Sure, our bodies may be healthy but if our minds and spirits are stressed or worried, then we are sick regardless. WOW! I also loved that someone had taken the time to send that message to everyone else. I think I smiled all day because of that simple act.
Michelle and I have been heavily immersed these past few months in getting our business to the place we feel it should be. We have SOOO many ideas but limited resources to get them done. Sometimes (well, ok, most of the time) its very easy to get caught up in all the work that needs to be done - with no time/money/help to get it done - and the stresses that come with small business ownership that we miss the jungle for the trees. There is SO much out there - so many great ideas, so many wonderful people, so many inspirations - that we can miss if we aren't careful.
Today, as Michelle did last week, I am switching my perspective. I am embracing my experiences and tasks and all those around me (positive and negative) because I WANT to be HEALTHY and not just physically healthy. I want total health! And I want those around me to have that too.
So, this post is my thanks giving - my thanks for my life and all parts of it that make me grow to be a better, stronger, healthier me. I wish you all a happy, HEALTHY day (week, month, year, decade....) ;o)
