Aug. 29, 2005 - It's the little things that make a difference!

With apologies and appreciation to the ePRO creators from whom I have borrowed this line :>)

 

I'm sitting across from London Bridge in a hotel, The Agave Inn, room on the waterfront. No, that doesn't mean I am in England...I am in Lake Havasu  City, AZ

 

I'm teaching a GRI Class and choose to stay here because I knew I needed a nurturing place to spend the nights before the two days when I would be on my feet for 8 hours straight.

 

I have an Ultimate Spa Tub that has instructions on How To Take A Bath!

The room looks like an IKEA Showroom...The beds have 300 count sheets, there's a DSL line for my computer and everything down to the bamboo in the pot is invitingly sparse but perfect. It's the little things....

 

So, I've been relaxed and productive...that interesting mix that I strive for with my clients. How do you put yourself in a place where you can slow down the pace but not reduce your productiveness? The answer I get, again, in to be taking very good care of myself so I have the energy and focus to do my best work with others.

 

I could have stayed at a Motel 6, but I doubt I would have the wonderfully satisfied feelings I have sitting on the patio marveling at how and why they brought the London Bridge to the Arizona desert! Isn't life extraordinary??

It's sort of like the adage on airplanes -- put the oxygen mask on yourself before attempting to help children and the elderly. THanks for the good reminder, Joeann... I love your new blog! Suzanne

Sep. 6, 2005 - Taking care of ourselves

Posted by Anonymous
I am so happy to have found your blog, Joeann. I love this post because, of course, I am a real estate agent constantly trying to find the harmony. I need to check in to the London Bridge obviously, but that is not going to happen. I am going camping with my family in a couple of weeks and I think this will do it. Can't wait, but we need this on a more regular basis, don't we, so we work with the mystery of how!
