What is your “Why?”

What is your why behind what you do? Sometimes knowing why you are doing something whether it be a career or a business or many other pursuits, encourages us when we are knee deep in and overwhelmed. Sometimes your why challenges you to hit the Reset Button in our lives as we change and grow.

When I began Bits and Pieces almost a decade ago, my why was to fill the empty nest void and to have money to get my hair done. Just writing this makes me smile. It was a pretty simple why but important for that phase of life I was in. A little further down the line, as I began to have more faith than fear, my why changed. The business was growing enough that I began to believe I could get out of the dental field all together and be my own boss. Also, I began to realize that I could share my faith simply by telling others my story. Today my why is to know Him and to make Him known. Financially, it is to save some, give beyond my tithe, and spend

some on grandbabies. It is a pretty simple why and yet so vast at the same time. I can see how God is shaping, correcting, guiding and refining me. I cannot always see how He uses what I do to make Him known, but I am convinced that He does.

I hope sharing my journey makes you pause and question your why. Maybe you are like me and need to hit your own reset button and ask the question, “What is your why?” Thank you for following our journey!
