Taking four weeks away from work wasn't an easy decision.
I absolutely love what I do, so stepping away for that long felt quite daunting.
I still checked in with my online 🏡 clients, replied to messages and made sure everyone was supported, but this trip was about something even more important.
Time with family.
Over the past four weeks we've spent time in London, travelled to Pakistan and Abu Dhabi, caught up with relatives, shared meals, stayed up chatting until 4am (those who know me know I'm usually in bed by 10pm! 😂), enjoyed shopping together and simply appreciated the little things.
The most special part was watching my wee man 🩵 spend time with his family.
Living so far apart means those opportunities don't come around often. Seeing him build those relationships, listen to family stories, enjoy late-night motorbike rides, laugh with his cousins and create memories he'll carry for the rest of his life made every single day worthwhile.
Work will always be there, and I'm so grateful to all of my clients for being so understanding while I was away.
But time doesn't wait.
Children grow. Parents get older. Life gets busier. The opportunities to all be together become fewer.
The greatest investment we can make is the time we spend creating memories that can never be replaced.
This summer has given us memories we'll talk about for years to come, and I wouldn't change that for anything.
