The nose knows - A reminder from Sweet that Jesus loves you!

Have you ever been so busy doing good things that you didn't realize you were neglecting the people who mattered most? Ten years ago, I received a four-page letter from my husband, Dave, that completely changed the way I looked at my life and my priorities. I was busy building Happy Success Ranch Retreats while serving on boards, committees, and community organizations, and I didn't realize how much I had taken on. Dave was working long hours too, and our marriage was suffering.

The first sentence of his letter was, “I love you, but I cannot do this anymore.” I was shocked. I had no idea he felt that way, and our marriage almost ended. Thankfully, we chose to have some difficult conversations, went to marriage counseling, and I made some big changes. I stepped away from many of my commitments so I could be more present at home.

When I shared the story with my business coach, Sandra Yancey, she said something I'll never forget: “What you take for granted can be taken away.” Dave didn't need me to accomplish more. He simply wanted me to be present.

So I want to ask you: Are you making your priority people your priority? Don't get so busy building a life that you forget to be present with the people who make that life meaningful.
