01. Glint Celebrates 20 Years

For our 20th Anniversary, we are making 2020 a year to pause and reflect. Glint wants to celebrate twenty years of business by having people share their stories and business journeys. Everyone has a story, and it has been quite the journey for us; let’s face it, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. If anything, it’s hard to run a business, but what makes it worthwhile is reflecting on how far you’ve come. We all started somewhere and were impacted by significant moments along the way. It doesn’t matter if you’re in your first year of business, your fiftieth, or you haven’t even started. It’s about understanding the meaning of hard work and remembering that no matter where you are in your journey to take a moment to pause and reflect on what it took to get you where you are now.

The people you work with, the work you do, and the things you have accomplished are all a part of your success development. So, we ask, what makes you proud? What drives you? Where do you want to be?

02. Join The Movement

In celebration of achieving our twenty-year milestone, we want to encourage you to join our Pause and Reflect campaign. Together, we can spread words of encouragement, celebrations, and thanks by posting on social media and using the hashtag #pauseandreflect. Although the challenges we’ve faced in 2020 may have been overwhelming at times, taking a moment to pause and reflect over the last twenty years will likely give you hope, and confirm you’ve still made a lot of progress. So please, join the campaign and help us celebrate how great the last twenty years have been.

Before October asks you to do more, take a moment to notice what youโ€™ve already carried.

You donโ€™t need a perfect plan for the month ahead.
Just a little space to breathe, reflect, and begin again โ€” at your own pace.

Pause. Breathe. Then step into October. ๐Ÿค

This thought came to mind around 2:30 a.m. today, and I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I just had to record it. 

After watching, tell me...

Do you agree, or do you see it differently?

Week 2 | Wednesday ๐ŸŒฟ

Pause โ€ข Reset โ€ข Refocus

By Wednesday, the excitement of Monday has often faded.

The to-do list is still there.
The week is moving quickly.
And somewhere between getting things done, we may forget to ask ourselves:

โ€œHow am I actually doing?โ€

Maybe today doesn't need more pressure.

Maybe it needs a pause.

โ˜• Take a breath.
Give yourself a moment without having to accomplish anything.

๐Ÿค Check in.
What are you feeling, really?

๐ŸŒฑ Reprioritise.
What truly deserves your energy right now?

๐Ÿƒ Let go.
What are you carrying that you don't need to?

โ˜€๏ธ Recharge.
Do one small thing that makes you feel like yourself again.

โ›ฐ๏ธ Keep going.
You may be doing better than you think.

You don't have to finish the week perfectly.

You just have to be a little more present for it.

Take a breath.
You still have time. ๐Ÿค

Less noise. More clarity.

Collection One: New Beginnings

๐Ÿ’œ Reflection

โ€œMaybe I donโ€™t need to find the old Lexi.
Maybe I donโ€™t need to become exactly who I was before.
Because Iโ€™ve lived a lot of life since then.โ€

I think thereโ€™s something quite freeing about this idea.

Sometimes we talk about โ€œfinding ourselvesโ€ as though thereโ€™s an old version of us tucked away somewhere, waiting to be uncovered.

But what if weโ€™re not supposed to go backwards?

We change.

Life changes us.

The things weโ€™ve experienced, the people weโ€™ve loved, the lessons weโ€™ve learned, the things weโ€™ve lost and the things weโ€™ve discovered along the way all become part of who we are.

Maybe the goal isnโ€™t to become who we were before life happened.

Maybe itโ€™s to discover who we are now.

And perhaps that person doesnโ€™t have to look anything like the person we used to be.

Maybe sheโ€™s a little wiser.

A little softer in some places.

A little stronger in others.

Maybe she still has some of the old sparkle.

Maybe sheโ€™s discovering new things she never knew she wanted.

And maybe thatโ€™s okay.

We donโ€™t have to go backwards to find ourselves.

Sometimes we just have to keep moving forward and see who we become. ๐ŸŒ™

๐ŸŒธ A little Thursday thought:
What if you donโ€™t need to find your old selfโ€ฆ but simply give yourself permission to discover who you are now?

Thank you for walking this journey with me, one page at a time. ๐Ÿ’œ

โธ๏ธ Pause Before Asking Workbook | Self-Trust Prompts for Anxiety & Reassurance-Seeking 
Reaching for reassurance can become automatic when uncertainty feels uncomfortable.

Before asking someone else, try the guided questions: What am I feeling? What do I already know? What answer am I hoping to hear? What decision actually needs to be made? Use the workbook to practice staying with your own thoughts for a little longer. Printable PDF and Canva editable.

To our spouses, kids, and family, we appreciate your tolerance of our late nights, grumpy moods, and crazy requests. To our clients, we couldn’t have asked for better allies throughout the years, enduring our requests for help, pushiness for approvals, and tolerance when challenges arose. Our partners have been exceptional, thank you for aligning with our crazy expectations and always being there when needed.

You are all part of the family, and we are proud to call you glintsters; without your support, we could not be here.
