EDITOR’S NOTE A Letter from the Editor I just came back from my first trip out of the country in 10 years. I took a week and went completely off the grid to Costa Rica we relaxed on the most beautiful beach I have ever seen and then explored an active volcano. It was amazing. I kept wondering why it had been 10 years since I took the time to do what I have always loved to do, travel. When I was younger I had been to almost every state in the country, still haven’t made it to Wisconsin yet but I will. Australia, Spain, Mexico, and so many more. I think I did what most of us do when we hit our baby days. I started putting myself and what I wanted last. All of a sudden travel felt like a burden- who was going to watch the kids? The cost- is it reasonable to spend that much on a vacation when Sarah Dew Business Strategist & Productivity Expert www.happyentrepreneurmagazine.com 4 I could save it for something “more important?” So it never happened and guess what. THAT IS NOT COOL. Getting away gave me the time I needed to step away from all of the daily tasks and to-do’s and actually look at my life from a different perspective. I can relax knowing that everything is going to be alright. It may not be perfect every day and yes, sometimes it is seriously hard juggling everything. But spending time with the people you love, away from all of the excitement of life will make you realize all the blessings you have. So take a minute and think about everything you have that you are grateful for, plan a trip, spend the extra money, and remember who YOU are. with all my love, Sarah
