And all of the sudden another year has passed! Reflecting on the past 12 months and creating intentions for the coming year is a ritual for me this time of year. In a nutshell, my meditation has brought me to … gratitude and excitement.
On Christmas night we played a fun card game where questions like “what gives you energy?”, or “what keeps you up at night?”, or “what’s your greatest accomplishment this year?” were asked and we went around the circle for everyone to answer. Of course, my love, children, grandchildren, and relationships are paramount in my life. But I always come back to an overwhelming sense of gratitude and good energy for the gift and phenomenon of the restaurants and my LuLu’s families. Creating, maintaining, and sharing a culture of excellence at and through LuLu’s – which is a total group effort and endeavor – has been the most energizing and rewarding experience in my 46 years of working life.
The excitement part comes into play as we prepare to open our third location in Myrtle Beach this year. Sometimes I think I’m crazy for embarking on such a huge project. And then I remember what joy the LuLu’s experience brings to all involved … and that if I weren’t at least part Crazy… none of this would have happened in the first place! Lol!
Thank you all for continuing to support my vision of LuLu’s and helping me to dream and manifest even bigger and better!
What are your thoughts about this last year and intentions for next? I’d love to hear!
Cheers to gratitude, excitement, and staying a little bit Crazy in 2018!
Happy New Year!!
Love, LuLu
