The last few weeks have been filled with big life events, both personal and professional. Thinking about the milestones, or markers in our lives can be important. It gives us a perspective on our journey, the progress we have made and a chance to celebrate. Too often we are so focused on the day to day activities, and just making it through them that we forget to step back and see the bigger picture. A fun exercise is to draw a line that begins with your birth and ends at today. Then think about what significant life events would you add as markers or milestones along the way, moments in time that forever changed you. It's interesting to me how I look back now on those moments, even the ones that were not fun at the time, and I can see their importance and celebrate them.
