December Update

0 Comments life, me

I thought after doing my big post in November I'd do a monthly update on how things are going. I really didn't realize that my post would bring so much support or I'd get so many reaching out and thanking me for sharing, as it helped them as well. I'm really glad that was the unintended side effect of my story. Since then I've continued on my script for my hormone imbalance. I'm not sure...

What’s Going on with me…

25 Comments life, me

September and October were very tough months for me. If you're a regular reader and remember my Life of an Entrepreneur post, I mentioned a "nugget" that I said I'd talk more in depth about later when I finally addressed it on my own. Well I've finally started. At the beginning of September I spoke to my physician about an issue I've been shelving since my son was born 7 years ago. I think...

Fingers Crossed and Personal Growth

16 Comments life, me

That look, with fingers crossed, is how I feel most of the time. "Living the Dream" of working for myself makes it sound like all rainbows and gumdrops but its actually a more dauntingendeavor than it might seem. Every choice you make, and working for yourself you can make these decisions with sometimes reckless speed, affects your future directly. I don't regret this decision for an...

OLW for 2013

9 Comments life, me, Uncategorized

I've made Goals for 2013, I've learned some things from last year to bring into this... last year my One Little Word for the year was Flourish. I dare say that with everything that happened last year, in spite of some things really, that word really summed up 2012. We went to our first CHA We grew as a company I feel I grew as an artist and as a mom I'm learning to look at my faults and...

3 Things I Learned in 2012

4 Comments life, me, Uncategorized

Continuing with this week of reminiscing of the year gone by I learned a few things that I want to pass along for 2013. Practice Patience and Consistency Its so easy to get caught up in the thought train of instant gratification and impatience with the efforts you put in. Patience is hard. Consistency is hard. Both take practice to be able to realize that everything takes time and what you...

5 Days a Week… Scheduling it all

12 Comments business, me, wahm

Coming back from CHA I had a whirlwind and a half to do and deal with (which was fab btw) and while I'm good at making the To Do list I wasn't actually taking my To Do list and "scheduling" it. There is a difference between knowing you have an empire state building tall list of things that need to be done and a plan for getting them done. Before I would work until really really late trying to...
