It's Flex Friday. Every week, I decide what to use my Friday for based on what is happening in my life and business that week. I am using today's Flex Friday as a catch-up and planning day.

Feeling stuck isn't the problem we often think it is.
Feeling stuck is just the space between "what is" (that no longer fits) and "what's next" (that you haven’t figured out yet).
So, you're not actually stuck. You’re just standing at the threshold of change.

Sunday. Taking a day out to do nothing. Because sometimes that is the best thing you can do with your day.

If you aren’t living by your own definition of success, whose definition are you following?

That’s why redefining success on your own terms is key to creating a fulfilling life.

Today's sunrise walk was beautiful. A great way to fuel up for the coming work week. I have lived here for a few years now. The novelty of living and working on Vancouver Island never wears off. So glad we took the leap and moved here.

Walking meetings are so much fun, even when it is freezing cold. Vancouver is such a beautiful city to walk around. Yesterday, I had a great time doing a walking meetup with Nicole Donnelly and enjoyed a great conversation about life and business.

People who create change successfully are those who accept that uncertainty and discomfort are part of the change process and step into that when it arises, not retreat from it.
