Greetings Village!

July’s newsletter is about doing what “makes you happy.”

We wear many hats in our lives.

For me, I wear the hats of daughter, wife, mom, friend, business owner, and more.

And each hat comes with responsibilities.

But you know what? I am also Lesley. And if I focus solely on the responsibilities of my many hats, I get bogged down.

It’s kinda like the cup analogy.

You can’t fill others' cups if yours isn’t full itself. You can’t pour from an empty cup.

So what fills your cup?

What fills my cup?

What brings about personal happiness?

For me there is no 1 magic thing that fills my cup and creates happiness. For me . . .

Variety + Balance = Happiness (and fills Lesley’s cup)

Here are elements in my life that fill my cup and create balance & true day-to-day happiness:

Quality family time with just my family of 4
Traditions with our extended family
Hanging out with my close friends
Dancing
Big social events with the ladies from my dance class where we laugh a ton!
Traveling
Live concerts & Broadway Musicals (and it fills my cup even more when I introduce my kids to these things)
Working each week with my clients

Do you have a moment to jot down what fills your cup?

Go ahead! Take a moment and brainstorm . . .

writing these things down can be very powerful.

With much love and gratitude,

Lesley
