It took me many years as a nurse to understand the value of work-life balance.
Put simply, when you take time for wellness you are actually more productive at work and at home.
My favorite spot in my home. Me time chair.
The most simple way I ensure a productive home life with my partner and kids AND meet all deadlines and expectations as a Nurse Manager, is LEAVE WORK AT WORK AND LEAVE HOME AT HOME.
What makes me capable of doing this? Taking care of ME both while at work and at home.
At work, I take time for wellness walks on my lunch hour. I buy all the plants for my office space to clear the toxins from my environment and allow for a peaceful, happy place.
At home, I listen to my favorite podcast while I walk my dog. I have a chair in my indoor garden space where I take time to blog, write journal & read.
I believe in bucket-filling (a little twist on the bucket list). I want a platform to share my artform(s) that already fill my bucket. I have the degree(s). I survived the young child rearing years. I've landed the leadership dream job. It's time to fill my bucket. Focus on what lights my fire. Rebranding this blog (yet again) to meet me where I am at in this journey called life. I will share my creative writing. I will share my photography. I will share my thoughts on this crazy journey we call life. I like to keep it real. I refuse to live up to "the image". I don't use filters. What you see (read) is what you get. I hope you enjoy the read and I will try to balance what I share in a meaningful way. Ultimately, I keep this blog for me. You (my imagined audience) are an awesome bonus!
