I’m In Love With The Kansas City Royals!

I’ve lived in Kansas City most of my life and, for many reasons, have grown to love the city that I call home.

I love our beautiful boulevards, our eye-catching fountains, our walkable communities and our plentiful farmers markets.

But right now my number one reason I love it is my ever-growing infatuation for the Kansas City Royals.

Since about mid 2013, the boys-in-blue have captured my heart…and I’m all in! In fact, my husband Mic is getting a little concerned that I’ve gone over the edge with all of this Royals love.

Since the mid-1980’s, we didn’t have a lot to cheer about, so only die-hard baseball fans paid much attention.

But all of that has changed with our current roster of young, tough and humble players, who use defense and strong pitching as to challenge and frustrate other teams.

They’re a great group of talented players who are so much fun to watch in action. And this season they’ve also found their power at the plate which is making them an ever tougher opponent.

I watched or listened to well over 100 games last season as we made a historically epic run to the World Series after capturing the American League pennant in amazing fashion.

And now, in 2015 for 162 regular season games from April – September, I’m once again captivated by anything and everything Royals.

The Royals have also helped me find balance as I juggle finding new business, executing meetings logistics for my clients, and learning how to be a better small business owner. I have the Royals schedule loaded onto my calendar so each day I know when and where my boys are playing.

Taking it a step further, I often schedule my time around being able to, at the very least, listen to the radio broadcast or keep up with the the score on my MLB app.

I’m motivated to handle all of my job responsibilities at a high level when they’re not playing so that I can fully enjoy the games when they are – even if that means a mid-day, mid-week game.

You see, for me personally, this is one of the best benefits of being an independent business owner: I decide how to spend my time.

A happy Missy is better for me, for Mic and for my clients. I’m simply better at my job when I make time for my favorite leisure activity – watching the Kansas City Royals!

Play ball!
