Never enough time

Do you ever feel like there’s simply not enough time?

You want to spend time with friends.  You want to play with your kids.   You want to finish that project you found on Pinterest or go see the new movie that just came out.  You’d love to volunteer for that non-profit or maybe even start a business of your own.

But responsibilities get in the way.

There are projects to finish, clients to meet, bills to pay, groceries to buy, houses to clean. . . and the list goes on.  You don’t have enough time to finish all the things you’re responsible for, much less get to the things you truly value or enjoy.  It’s hard to be an adult, with responsibilities, and keep your time aligned with your values.

He mentioned how happy my boys …

I really think someone traded them for Thing 1 and Thing 2 on the last day of school as some sort of cruel joke.  My house totally looks like that, and there’s no big red box, no magic vacuum.

Meet Amy Bean, founder & CEO of Tiny Bee Gift Co.

I first met Amy Bean in a coffee shop in Dallas.  As I listened to her tell her story, I was amazed by her heart and the choice she made to start Tiny Bee Gift Co.   She has a master in Public Policy from Harvard.  She’s brilliant and qualified to lead any organization of her choosing.  But instead, she chose this.  She’s choosing, every day, to do work that matters.  To live the stories of her heart.

I couldn’t be happier to introduce you to Amy!

It’s hard for many heart-centered female entrepreneurs to step up to be the face of our companies. We want all the attention to go the cause, to the people we seek to serve. When really, what they’re looking for is someone who will say,  I’m the one who cares enough to do this. It’s not easy, but I’m not giving up. They want to know we’re …
