Not just one of those days, one of those weeks!

Something was off this week, I felt like something was missing. Whatever the case, it was just one of those weeks. You know what I am talking about. A week in which you feel like you aren’t getting enough things knocked off of your to-do list. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but my energy was lackluster.

As I sit here on this somewhat gloomy Saturday morning, in my office, it just clicked. Something WAS missing. Because I was so busy, I did not have any extra time to do the one thing I love the most. Podcast Production. Producing podcasts makes me happy, it allows me to be creative in so many different ways. By nature, I am a creative person. I enjoy designing websites, creating videos, creating audio, writing stories and more. So, any time spent on podcast production whether it be updating the look of my website (which I started to do earlier in the week, but then had to put that on hold) or coming up with topics for future episodes, I am at my most happiest. This is not to say that I am not happy when I am doing other things. Many things I do in my life make me happy, especially when it comes to the work I do for my clients.

The point here is, I didn’t find the time to do the one thing that makes me the MOST happiest. We all have to remember to stop and take time to ourselves, to take joy in whatever it is that makes us ultra-happy. I believe by doing so, we will see amazing results in our lives and in our work. Energy levels will rise and stress levels will decrease. Remember to take the time to do what you love. I certainly will do my best to do so! FYI: if you are a subscriber to my blog or following me on Twitter and see I am not active, this can only mean one thing — I am ultra-busy and forgetting to stop and smell the roses — Send me a message and remind me to take my own advice, okay? :)

Episode 2 – Follow Your Dreams

“Understand Your Purpose in Life
by Feeling Your Heart’s Desires”Marcia Wieder

I received this quote  the other morning and it could not have come at a better time! I recently spoke with Nacie Carson, writer and creator of The Life Uncommon book and blog.  Nacie’s philosophy and message is all about following your life’s purpose.

Nacie, a freelance writer, is living the life she has always dreamed about. However, it did not start out that way. In this podcast Nacie shares her story of how she left her job working at a financial software company in order to lead the life she always wanted. Nacie is a well-spoken and inspiring individual.  Her words are insightful and her spirit truly uplifting.  An added bonus, the quote Nacie shares, courtesy of her mother, is fantastic!

I hope you have just as much fun listening to the podcast as I did producing it.
