THE LIFE RAFT TEST
Life is busy, time is short which is why I love the “Life Raft Test.” My sister introduced me to this quick check to make sure precious time and energy is invested in the people that matter. It goes like this, “If I had a life raft, would so-and-so be on it?” Take for example Julianne; she’s my hair stylist, my friend and someone I definitely would want on my life raft! Anybody that is resourceful enough to give a haircut that takes 5 minutes to style AND lasts 6 months is someone I want on my life raft! Julianne has 3 kids herself and so when I was in to see her recently she asked, “How do you stay in great shape, eat healthy, be a Mom AND have a full time job too!” I was so excited to share with her our latest family survival solution; it’s the KettleWorx Kitchen “Healthy TV Dinner!” All I do is set up small individual stations in the kitchen where the kids come in and choose which healthy proteins and veggies THEY want to eat, season it the way THEY like it, wrap up their foil packet, throw it in the oven or on the grill and it’s good to go!! It’s easy to prepare, healthy, guaranteed to please picky eaters, and the best part…now even my husband can make dinner taste good. I guarantee if you pass this tip on to your family and friends, you will secure your place on any life raft! I know I’ve now made Julianne’s short list!
