In a recent radio interview I was asked about our friend, Krista, that passed away and what qualities I most admired and learned from her. She was sensitive and thoughtful, but what came to mind was how "present" she always was. She never seemed rushed, hurried, or made you feel less important than her next task. Please note- she was ALWAYS late to EVERYTHING. In the months since she passed away, her lack of timelines has never been mentioned, but how she made everyone around her feel comes up daily. Ideally- I would like to be both on time and present- but I will need to schedule less to make that happen- starting now. My goal is to "Do Less- but Better"!
Ironically this is NOT a month I can do less, I have scheduled the hell out of October, but in a good way. We have the WMCMA annual conference for case managers in Lynwood, the Senior Care Coalition fundraiser, the HCPC Making the Link case manager event in Tacoma, Valley Medical case management CEU event just to name a few. Our entire team is honored to see the guide growing in Puget Sound and we are thrilled to be a bigger part of the community. If you have a recommendation for the next edition, please send it our way.

| "The key is not to prioritize your schedule, but to schedule your priorities. – Stephen
Covey
Do you manage your schedule or does it manage you? I started my business 10 years ago with 2 toddlers because I wanted more time with family. But 3 years into the work, my 4 year old told me I was a bad mommy- and he was right. I was a good person, but not the most available parent. If someone looked only at your calendar and made a judgement based only on that- what appears to be your priorities? It is never too late to make a change. Good luck!
