Numbers have become an obsession of ours, a measure of success, achievement, happiness. Though they are faulty measurements. more >>>>
It’s been two and a half weeks since I wrote my last thoughts and made a decision to leave blogging. Who would think, so many things could happen in two and a half weeks. My views about things and my approach to life have changed drastically and I truly can’t express how anew I feel. I’d be here a while if I shared everything that has changed and I couldn’t put some of it to words. I think if I had said, “I’m going to take a break” I wouldn’t have benefited because I’m an “all or nothing” person. Had I done that, all I would think about is, “well, when will I come back?” I don’t think, if I considered it a break, I would have had so many realizations. I had every intention of staying gone. I’ve separated myself from much of the web and even deleted my Google+ account. So the only social network I’m on (because I don’t consider Pinterest a social network) is Goodreads. Gosh I just feel like everything has changed but one thing made me decide that I need to come back. One thing made me look at everything differently. more >>>>
I can’t express how nervous, but also how excited, I am to publish this post. I say it’s a doozie because it’s my last post and so it’s kind of a throw everything in the bucket deal. Where I share all of my last minute feelings and such. So I split it out in two. My video below is on why this is my last post. And everything below that (minus the other video) are all of the last minute things I want to share, or was going to share in a post but instead made this decision. more >>>>
Patience, these days, feels like a lost art. And after sharing my thoughts on our relationship with technology I can’t help but transition to the topic of patience. We have shifted to a world of go-go-go and a desire for instant gratification. However, I think we need to take back the reigns and regain our patience. more >>>>
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking since my last post and trying to take a giant step back from the computer. So I’m going to keep it (sort of) lighter here. For a month now I’ve saved videos and articles which I’ve loved and would love to share here. They are articles and videos that made me think, made me happy, asked questions I hadn’t or some I did, and some where they said it much better than I. Here are some weekend reads (and watches), for anyone interested. more >>>>
I have been trying to figure out how to best express my current feelings, which I’ve had for some time now. I normally do better via the written word, than verbal, but this time I went with a video. My thoughts shared in this video span on topics of blogging, social networks, communicating, narcissism, and a book I read this weekend that changed my life. I was going to share this on Monday but I decided, why wait. I apologize for the length and I understand if many of you prefer to do something other than listen to me talk for 23 minutes. I thank anyone who does watch. In this video I try to be as honest as I possibly can, as real as I possibly can. Thanks again for those who watch! Cheers to you all! more >>>>
A few weeks ago I got my DBA and permit to legally do business as Project Lovegood, in the state of Texas. Project Lovegood is now a sole proprietorship. So my Etsy shop is legal and that was super exciting (I’ll soon share about taxes, legalities and Etsy). BUT the news I want to share today is more my husband’s news and less mine but I’m so so excited for him, and for us! I was actually going to share a post today on accomplishing your dreams and my view on “willpower” but I’m saving that for next week. It can sit in the draft file and make buddies with some others. more >>>>
