Lessons Learned from a Stroll Through Ybor City [YT Video]

Since I started my business, I've probably put on an away message twice. And each time, I didn't follow through with the "away" part of the concept-- I still checked my inbox, and held myself back from responding to clients.
But that changed last week when the boys and I made our way to Ybor City.
Even though I've been a hundred times before (we live about 20 minutes away), I've never gone during the holiday season on a leisurely stroll. But with my new attempt to be more present with my family, I put my phone on silent, and went to see the sites on 7th Avenue.
Watching Elijah's eyes light up at the Ybor chickens and seeing him gleefully people-watch was surprisingly fulfilling. It's funny how something so simple can be the exact relief you need.
In my (first!) YouTube video, I show you:
