Recently I had the distinct honour of being awarded Woman of the Year - Entrepreneur Award from the Barrie Chamber of Commerce, in celebration of International Woman’s Day on March 8th, 2018.
Not only was I overwhelmed for having been selected from an incredible line-up of female entrepreneurs, but I was overwhelmed with the recognition. Rarely do we take the time to celebrate ourselves, especially entrepreneurs. We are so focused on the day-to-day duties of juggling work and family, and running a business that there seems little time left over to “smell the roses” and appreciate how far we’ve come. This award gave me that opportunity to bask in the glory of my achievements, appreciate the struggles I overcame, and be grateful for what I had done thus far.
This first edition of "Afternoonz at Chillz" is to remind you, too, to take time for yourself.
If you prefer to celebrate with others, than invite a friend or family member to join you in having a cup of coffee. Meet at a nice place (like Chillz), sit in a quiet booth, and take time to drink a cup of coffee from a ceramic mug, not a paper cup with a plastic lid jammed into your car console. Indulge or share a treat. Have fun and enjoy that connection with another human being. Put away your cell phones, in fact, turn them off and hide them. Engage in a meaningful conversation, laugh, bask in the enjoyment of connectedness again and celebrate each other. You will both leave feeling whole, enlightened and ready to take on the world….or at least, another day.
