Naturally wired into some women is the need, desire, pressure to wear many hats. Let’s question our reasoning, drive and passion behind wearing these hats. Sometimes they are just cute and fun, who doesn’t love a good hat, right? :)

Why is it important to know my values? How can I live into them, what does that even mean? Good questions! I’m going to attempt an answer now, by giving personal examples from my life.

I have heard this phrase all too much when I worked in the corporate world. In fact, I found that the only way to be successful was to live and breathe this phrase. In my former jobs, it was expected to treat others with less respect than they deserved if it meant advancing the business in some way.

There is factual evidence in regards to the less than cheery mood many of us are now wearing like a great, ferocious hooded cloak. Up to 20% of people suffer from SAD or a milder form known as the winter blues. They come creeping around as soon as our daylight hours reduce, for me a little sooner. And that dip is more likely to affect women.
