Restoring Integrity

2 Shares

Even with all the incredible breakthroughs I’ve experienced this year, there have also been some equally devastating and challenging breakdowns.

As I entered survival mode, a lot of things fell by the wayside. So, I wanted to restore my integrity with you.

I rarely share, in a public forum, the private details of my life. But it seems appropriate based on the lack of integrity I’ve been drowning in.

Here’s what happened:

Between January and May, I was taking an intensive personal development program. It was worth every ounce of time, energy and money I dedicated to it, but it also consumed me to the point where things started falling by the wayside.
While I was taking the personal development program, I got sick twice and my car broke down multiple times.
Shortly after I completed the program, the woman I’d been pining for, for the better part of two years, told me it wasn’t going to happen.
My roommate casually announced she would be moving back to Vancouver in July. This also prompted my move, which I’m trying to prepare for, even as I write this (suffice it to say, I’m not sleeping much).
Because of my relentless work schedule and broken heart, I got severely ill. I had planned to take it easy during the summer, but the meetings and the work and the emails and requests just wouldn’t let up.
I went on two vacations during the summer. I went to see my sister in St. Catharines for about a week, then spent some time in Vancouver and Austin, TX either resting or going to industry events.
I started to feel better after returning from vacation, but unfortunately, I was not completely healed and needed to spend more time resting up.
As result, I fell behind on several projects, which only added to my stress.

The impact on you is that I haven’t been entirely present, and I’ve procrastinated and delayed. This goes entirely contrary to my nature and even caught me off guard.

The new structure I’m putting in place now is a “non-negotiable” to-do list that I must complete daily before I put my head to rest.

And, if for some reason I’m unable to handle something, I will let you know and will either put you on a waiting list or refer you to someone else who can handle the job.

I cannot promise that everything will go smoothly from here on out. But I’m committed to making things right. I appreciate your patience and grace.

Thank you for trusting me with your business,
