Working towards achieving ‘ balance ’ in our lives is something we should all be striving to accomplish . A balanced lifestyle is healthy and helpful in the pursuit of our individual goals and purpose .
My personal notion of balance was very much defined by my life hero , my father , who gracefully passed away in the fall . With a caring heart and a smile on his face , his last words of advice to me were to “ slow down , look around , smell the flowers and really enjoy life .” My first thoughts were , “ yeah ... right ... in this world ... good luck with that ,” but as the last year passed , his words of advice have had a strong impact on me . This has inspired me , motivated me and , even more so , helped define my journey towards finding balance , letting go of what really doesn ’ t matter , accepting the decisions I have made , and focusing on what really makes me feel whole professionally , but more importantly , in my personal pursuits in life .
For more than a decade , I have been honoured to extend my passions as the Events Manager to a charity that is very close and dear to my heart . My work with Easter Seals has furthered my understanding of the importance of balance within a family unit by supporting one another and in helping to fulfill one ’ s dreams . It has been a wonderful and truly fulfilling experience to be a part of the efforts and to see the tremendous impact that Easter Seals has had on so many people in our community .
Find balance , define your passions , stay focused and you will live a much more enriched life .
