Bake the cake

Colleagues,

MVP: Take time. 

This might sound cheesy, but when I moved to Greensboro, NC in May, I was so excited to bake something in my new kitchen. But until last week, I still had yet to bake anything. 
To be honest, last week was really hard for me and I got stuck on the fact that I still hadn’t baked anything in my kitchen, which didn’t even feel new anymore. When I dug a little deeper, I realized that it wasn’t necessarily the baking that I was so caught up on, it was what it represented: time, balance, abundance, success.

I decided enough was enough. I was going to bake something. I made some pumpkin spice muffins and I shared them with my friends. It made me so happy that I did it again the next day. I realized it really didn't take that much time and it brought me so much joy. It turned my week around. 

As we go into the weekend, I challenge you to forget the to-do lists for just a moment. Think about something small you have been wanting to do, but have convinced yourself isn't a priority. This weekend, it IS a priority. Go do it, and let me know how it went! 
If you'd like to reply to this email or send me a message, you can email me here.

Thank you for trusting me to lead you through this week's emails -- I had fun. Cheers to the weekend!

Sending Sunshine,

​Mara
