| So is everyone crazy busy right now or what? As the temperatures warm and the flowers bloom, I know my schedule is bursting with commitments. Work commitments, social commitments, and any other possible event that you can squeeze into it. And I know all of us event professionals are in the same boat together.
The last few weeks, I have found myself in a harrowing juggling match, just trying to keep all of my balls in the air. And then something happened that was an inevitable thing: I dropped a ball. It was a small one, nothing that couldn't be dusted off and tossed back up in the air with all of the other larger more important balls, but it was still a frustrating thing to have happen. I realized that my attention was so scattered among all of the different balls (mainly those large ones that tend to command most of our attention) that I wasn't actually paying attention to some of the small ones. And the smaller balls are important too.
Luckily, that was the little wake up call I needed and have vowed to give my full attention to whatever ball is falling my way at the time, big or small. I am trying to work on always being present in the moment. That is what my clients deserve, my co-workers deserve, and most importantly, my family and friends deserve.
So, fellow NACE members, as we enter this wondeerful time of year, I hope we can all work on being present in the moment, no matter how crazy that moment might be!
See you in May at the Blue Zone!!
