Incredible Christmas Lights

Living in a high rise means that i'm not able to go out and string lights across my roof, like I'd like to, but living in a festive city like Nashville means there's plenty of holiday spirit to go around.  One of my top Christmas stops in Nashville is Sunny Side neighborhood.  If you've never been by then it's a holiday tradition that you should start this year.  Check out their Facebook page here.  I love this light display because it's not only an incredible display of lights, but there is an incredible story behind the display.  You'll have to visit yourself to find out what I mean.

Dealing With A Work Life Balance

Previously, I posted a blog article: What was the most valuable lesson learned while doing business and college? and my response was to find a Work/Life balance. That article got me thinking how do I personally deal with a work life balance now that I am out of school? In such a fast pace, connected world where I am working globally and traveling globally it’s hard sometimes to find that set balance. With so much going on at all times around the globe, I could theoretically work 24/7 with all that’s going on, and to be honest sometimes that’s what happens. Luckily for me I have surrounded myself by people who understand what it means to be an Entrepreneur trying to build something. Richard Branson has said ” If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life.” And also "Time is how you spend your love, if you love what you do, separation of work & play disappears.” I truly connect with that because I absolutely love what I do and the people I do it with.

Music City Marathon

Here are some recent pictures from the Music City Marathon that Shannon and I participated in back in April.  It was a great race raising money for a great cause.  Love Nashville and events like this.
