OH, I’ve been a bad, bad blogger. This happens to me lot. When I was younger I wanted to keep a journal. I have about 4 journals full of stuff from my past- my first date, my first real love, my struggles as a rebellious teenager, my wedding day- but as I was reading back through them recently I noticed a pattern….an embarassingly definite pattern. Almost word for word at the beginning of each journal is “I AM going to write down events and details of my life as much as possible”. Then I’m good for a few months and then these LOOONG breaks, the most current one YEARS, and then repeat all of the above. It’s really quite sad because as much as you think you’re going to remember events of your life, time passes and details start to fade. First it might be little details, then bigger ones, until one day, years later, you can’t hardly remember anything about the day or event that seemed so important before. I’ve often thought about doing a journal on my computer. As anyone who knows me even the tiniest bit realizes that I sometimes run at the mouth. It happens quite often and it readily available for evidence right here on this blog, when I write a book of a post. Writing is a way for me to release feelings that I have. Sometimes it’s stress, sometimes it’s frustration, sometimes it’s pure excitement and joy about how I feel. Writing has always been a medium for me to express what I’m feeling inside. As I’ve been pondering the past few weeks on where I want my business to go, things I was to achieve in my personal and professional life, I remembered that I needed to take the time to write down things that are important to me. Because I don’t want to go back and find out that I didn’t write down about Braedon’s baptism, or Riley’s 6th birthday, or Kasen’s cute sayings, or, or, or ………I keep thinking how FAST time goes by!
Another thing I need to “work” on, and there are MANY believe me…..is not becoming so busy that I forget to do these things. It’s hard to remember sometimes the REAL reasons I started my own business.
1. To do and share something I love with other’s
2. To be able to have a career where “I” was in control and be able to step away when I needed to
3. To allow me to be as successful as I wanted to be and to have that success defined by ME and not someone else.
there’s many other reasons that I decided to start my business almost 2 years ago, but these were the main reasons….to have “time” to focus on the things that are important to me. So with that, here’s a little collage of a day I’m going to go write about right now! October 10, 2009 my oldest baby was baptized……Have a great weekend!
