The Pursuit of Happiness

I have decided to get a bit personal for this week's blog post.  Very unlike me but reflective of the task I set out for myself over the past few days.

This past week I have been working on crafting and editing my About page to add a more personal touch.  When people come to my website for the first time they typically want to know:
  • Can I trust you?
  • Will you actually help me?
  • Will we connect? Can I see us working well together? Will I like you?

I want potential clients to get a sense of who I am.  I want my values and philosophies to resonate with them.  When they come to my website, I want potential clients to 'meet' me for the first time without actually meeting me in person and feel similar to how they would feel if they were actually sitting in front of me in my office.  

In order to get started, I had to determine my "message" (what I stand for) in both how I live my life, run my practice and approach my work with my clients.  After some reflection, my message became quite clear.  

I believe that we all deserve to pursue the things in life that make us happy.

So, how do I practice what I preach?

Well, here are 5 things that I have pursued in my life that have made me happy:

1) Pursued my Masters of Social Work in New York City.

(It was always a dream of mine to live in New York.  I love everything about the city.  The vibe, the theatre and of course the food!. For such a small island, there is so much culture and life).

2) Travelling to warm and sunny or historical and cultured destinations.

(I have been fortunate to have been able to visit places like Hawaii, Aruba, Italy and France.  What's next on my list? Only time will tell!).

3) Starting a family.

(Every day I look at my beautiful children and I feel grateful).

4) Making it a priority to take time for myself every week.

(I am someone who needs to stop, breathe and reflect.  My favourite thing to do is to go to a local coffee shop and read a good book or magazine).

5) Starting my own business.

(Starting my own private practice has always been my professional dream since the first day I decided to become a social worker.  Every day I wake up looking forward to meeting new people, hearing their stories, following on their journey and being inspired).
