Being clear with yourself

[Helen Kirlew Smith]

Kia ora everyone, Liz here (via Helen's email)

I did have grand plans last week to write an article for you. I was
going
to probe deeper into what our values are and how they inform us as
parents.
Unfortunately, my week fell over on Monday when I discovered my boy
had chicken pox. I had that moment of thinking agghhhh I’ve got lots
of work on, what am I going to do? Then I took a step back and
thought
what’s important here? I decided to postpone all of my appointments
with
clients this week and stay at home to look after my sick child (I
never new
chicken pox could make kids so unwell!!). So even though I haven’t
written my
article on values, I got to see my own in action. I know for myself
when I am clear about what my values are, it’s easier for me to make
decisions! Are you making decisions that you are clear and happy
about?
