- I love my little shop. It consumes me in both a positive and negative way. But I’ve recently come to a realisation that when I catch up with friends or acquaintances the first thing they say is “Hi Emma, how’s the shop?” Don’t get me wrong, the shop is my baby and all my blood, sweat and tears go into it. But I thought to myself, I used to be “fun and carefree Emma” who loved yoga, gardening, surfing, live music and travelling and now I’m “stressed and boring Emma” who works a lot and spends Friday nights doing bookwork. Who is this girl and where did her life go?
- Subsequently one of my (many) New Years Resolutions for 2011 was to have a life outside of the shop. So this year I’ve started playing tennis, have discovered a fanatical love for pilates and am currently halfway through a yoga intensive course! I took a holiday to Noosa last month, am heading to Melbourne next month and am going to Sydney in December.
- It’s safe to say that my happiness levels have increased ten fold. I used to think I didn’t have any time, but now I’ve realised that I just wasn’t making time. So if you’re living in a comfort bubble, also known as a rut, pop it and get to know yourself again. I highly recommend it. So now people are starting to say to me “How was pilates last night?” and “Did you enjoy your holiday?” Yes I did, thankyou for asking :)
