A year ago my mother sent me a card with a beautiful poem by Elli Michler regarding the gift of time (see below). It couldn’t have been more timely, pun intended, as my mother’s wish for me for more quality time was granted immediately!

I finally had the space to reflect upon my passion and purpose and believe to have found it. #belladonnacareercoach.  If you feel like time is slipping away and you are wasting it, consider one-on-one coaching and contact me.

“I don’t wish you all sort of gifts.
I just wish you what most people don’t have:
I wish you the time to be happy and to laugh
and if you use it wisely, you can make something out of it.
I wish you the time for your actions and reflections,
time not only for yourself, but also to give away to others.
I wish you the time – not to hustle and run
but the time to be content.
I wish you the time – not to simply let it pass
I wish that you have enough time to be amazed and to trust,
and not simply to look at the watch.
I wish you the time to reach for the stars
and the time to grow, to mature
I wish you the time to hope and to love
It makes no sense to postpone this time.
I wish you the time to find yourself
to see happiness in each day and each hour.
I wish you the time also to forgive.
I wish you the time to live.” – Elli Michler (1923-2014)
