How Can I?

Welcome back!

How can I quit writing on this blog?  Over 800 posts and yet I haven’t written in over a month.  I know, I know. . . you know honestly here’s the deal, when you have as much on your plate as I do, frankly something slides off.  As of now, it’s been this blog, in the past it has been one thing or the other.  I can’t promise what it’ll be tomorrow, except it won’t ever be my God, my kids, or my husband.  Those things all stay on my plate no matter what.

I still want to write in this space, but right now . . . life seems to be getting in the way. . .

It’s work, which is going really well . . . the business of Creative VA Partner is really taking off.

My kids are with me 24/7, which I LOVE, but it is time consuming.

My house is a constant project, laundry, dishes, mess oh my!

What about you? What have you been up to?

Simplifying Life a Little Bit at a Time – Part 2

This is the second in a series of posts about simplifying my life.  In addition to letting go of some commitments, I have also become more intentional about my time.  I have always been one that has attempted to stick to some sense of a schedule.  In fact, one of my most popular posts here on the blog is one about my stay at home mom schedule.

Because I was letting go of some things my schedule obviously has changed.  I’ve been focusing much more on my home and family, and less on working and business building.  Though this is something I believe God called me to do, I would be telling you a fib if I said this was easy.  For someone who spent a great deal of time and energy on business this has been a challenge to change.

I still do have my businesses I just don’t commit as much time to them.  Plus, I am changing the way I do things business wise.  Simplifying my business structure as well. Instead of spending a chunk of my days working, most of my work is done in a couple of hours.  I must say, I’m liking the change.

There will be a part 3 in this series so check back!

Top Ten Tuesday: Reasons I’m Starting a Local Blog

I’m once again participating in OhhAmanda’s Top Ten Tuesday Today I’m making an announcement of sorts, and giving you the top 10 reasons for this new fun announcement and blog. You see I just started a new blog.  After several weeks of doing MUCH less online than I have done in years, thanks to “letting some things go”, I’ve as a result but searching for what God would have me to do online these days, besides blog here and write for just a couple of clients.

The answer seemed to creep up on me, at first I was pretty anxious about it, I even began to run from it, but the idea and thought kept creeping back up. So, here are the top 10 reasons why I am starting and soon to be “officially launching” a local blog for moms, grandmothers, parents and families in and around Carroll County, MS.

1.  I have officially been a resident of Carroll County for 10 years this summer.

2.  I want to become more involved in the community itself.

3.  My kids are reaching school age soon and I’d like to keep up with things locally for them.

4.  I love to write!

5.  I want to share deals and other fun things with other moms.

6.  There seems to be no such resource.

7.  Blogging is a huge stress release for me.

8.  It will be a great way to connect “locally” with other moms.

9.  I love projects!

10.  Social media is THE way to go for businesses and I want to show that to the local businesses in our area.

You can find the new LOCAL blog / online magazine at http://DeltaHillsMoms.com, it is a work in progress as it will not officially launch until Thursday, May 6, 2010 with an exciting National Mom’s Nite Out event hosted here locally at the Carrollton / North Carrollton Library, at 7:00 pm.
