Know your priorities...



Our daughter was a champion equestrian and successful hospitality manager: like many professional women, her life changed when she became a mother. She was always so passionate about both of those professions: always at the barn and then at work, totally committed and focused. Championships and promotions came as a result of hard work. But in that first year of motherhood we saw subtle changes, brought on by love and passion of a different kind. She introduced her daughters to her horses, and balanced her work life in order to make a strong family life. So, we weren’t surprised when she told us of her plans to be a stay-at-home-working Mom when her oldest started kindergarten. She, and many of her professional friends, all started developing alternate careers so they could stick to that timetable and their newly-found businesses flourished. The same energies and skills they put into their original professions drove the success of their new work. Just because their lives changed didn’t mean that their passions had to – they found ways to have both. Don’t let life’s changes alter your deepest passions today.
