Wanna go for Walkies??? A little reminder for all of us...
Life…is insane. And I don’t think my small business OR my small family are alone in this boat. (Move over, sharp elbows McGee!!).
In addition to being 2 months into building this small business (you read that right…but more on that next week), in the process of moving to Spain and (unexpectedly) living with my parents for the better part of year…we are also trying to wade through the waters of our country’s current international climate.
Try saying THAT five times fast.
I wanted to pause in the middle of all of this insanity, and our regularly scheduled programming, to say something you might need to hear.

Just paws. Take a beat today. Turn off the noise. Take a moment to walk your pup. Listen to the birds. Breath in the (hopefully) fresh air. Just…take a moment for you. Life these days seems to be all about living for other people’s dreams, pocketbook or belief systems. Maybe you need to get back to what YOU want. Just for a short time…live in the moment for YOU.
When I was growing up, seeing people with the tattoo “Breath” always made me laugh. (I apologize to any of my audience who sports that physical reminder…but if it makes you feel any better, I have a lower back tattoo with a Chinese symbol I can’t even read.)
The idea that you had to remind yourself to “Breath” seemed silly to me. Ah…to be young and dumb again.
These days, in my 40’s now, I’ve learned that the word “Breath” can be said in many different ways.
“You got this. Just keep going.”
“This too shall pass.”
“I can’t even.”
“C’mon, Terra.”
“Wanna walkies???”
These are the little pushes, multiple times a day, that I give myself to get up the hill. (That last one includes our pup, Phineas…I don’t just invite myself for “walkies” daily.)
"Stressed" doesn’t begin to describe our life right now, but taking the time...just a moment...to live for YOU (and your pup) sure does make it more centered.
So...here's your virtual cringe tattoo. Remember to breath today.
Next week, will be a bit more fun!! We’re making some huge progress in the move to Spain…so I’ll fill you in on that and how we’re getting Phineas ready for the journey!!
All our love,
Terra, Josh and Phineas
P.S. How do you plan to take your breather today? Make it a moment for you!
P.P.S. Phineas was taking his moment for a cat nap last night while I worked. Good boy, Phinny.
