I Never Say No....except to my puppies!

A good morning to all! After awaking very early this morning....at a time unknown, I snuck downstairs for coffee all by myself. This is a treat that only those of you who are daydreamers could ever fathom, except Miss Yablonski, of course, who is herself an authoress and an avid reader. Unfortunately, I have been physically unable to get up that early since the time change...when was that? About 6 weeks ago? That cataclysmic event put my earthly temple into a tailspin from which it is just now emerging; something akin to jet lag for thos of you who frequently traverse the hemispheres.

So then, after a reasonable facsimile of a quiet time on the front porch that was accompanied by quiet kitties and puppies....Hallelujah!......I have emerged a radiant person. Wow...it had been awhile. Only after which, I had turned on the computer and downloaded email. A friend of mine, Sam had written to me.....I miss you writing on your blog!

OK, so since I never say no, except to my puppies who constantly relieve themselves on the interior horizontal surfaces of my 2256 sf home and where nothing is sacred, here I am, writing.

Like I said in the last post; I HAVE to be inspired! What was that...whether by expediency, or urgency, or things that trouble or inspire me.....

So none of that has occurred recently....but, it is good to keep a journal of one's journeyings in the wilderness wherever they find themselves chronicling.

My husband last night had a "heart to heart" with me. He had commented on my inability to focus on even a simple conversation. To which I admitted that yes, I am having difficulty in fact concentrating on anything at all, let alone on anything worthwhile. To which he noted, something must be deleted from my schedule, which, he also noted, would be a painful event for me, since I am passionately pursuing those things which I feel passionately about. To which, he noted, I am doing nothing excellently; to which he also noted that I have such ability to do so. To which, further volunteered, me, all the while, mouth gaping open in a combination of awe and disbelief, that he would finally allow me to delegate household tasks to him. To which, he also noted, would involve an adjustment period for himself and our only sibling, 11 1/2 years old who is able bodied and able minded but feeble in intention....in order to comply with the requests bestowed upon him by His Domicile Queen....and that would be me.

To which I am in awe at this point to which, heretofore, I thought, we would NEVER arrive.

That being all said, on the homestead, is what transpired last night.

Now, on the business side, I prayed for something good to happen today. Something that would confirm that all this craziness that I have been pre occupied with would happen today, to bear out that I am on track for the beginnings of a prosperous endeavor in my community and cyberspace and beyond.

Just little steps....nothing sexy....nothing exotic....just dogged determination and the pursuit everday of those things necessary to build; and keep building, and keep building.

My latest "creations". I was inspired to do these and so I did them. Then I used them myself and felt very refreshed, revived, and rejuventated! My skin felt clean and soft and oh so fresh!

My friend, whoever you are....be true to the passions that God has given uniquely to only you! STay the course, and everyday do the things that will bring life to you and beauty to those you encounter! May the grace of God keep you and watch over you today!

A REMINDER! TONIGHT'S TOWN HALL OF HOPE MEETING

A Penitent Heart

So guys, here is the Deal:

Previously, in http://multi%20tasking%20is%20a%20misnomer;%20aka%20shop%20vacs%20are%20wonderful!/ TASKING IS A MISNOMER; aka shop vacs are wonderful! you will see that I basically
am a failure at multi tasking. especially as I age somewhat. OK, there, I said it.

So, here it is: now that tax day has come and gone, and the angels are singin in heaven, and the stress of being behind is behind me, HalleLuJah! I will be posting more often. Not as prolifically as some I know and admire: yablonski , or soap queen, yet, more frequently.

As much as we are maligned by people with "real jobs" (they do not have a clue, by the way)
this is the smart thing both business wise and because as Jessica says, most of her friends live
IN the internet, so social networking is not overrated.

Nonetheless. I must be inspired, whether by expediency or by a fleeting whimsy, or by the things that trouble, or inspire me.

All this a very rough way of saying, I am on the onramp and ready to go. So stay tuned and I so welcome and love anyone who wants to be in my readership! Thanks for being my friend and I appreciate you so! Happy Friday to you my friend!

The things that I want to accomplish, and you are most welcome to keep me accountable on this are: I) personally, 1)tithe of my time and resources into the kingdom of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 2) get my house and office in order 3) plant some flowers outside and weed my beds, 3) execute my pest control of premises II) financially, execute the instructions in Dave Ramsey's FPU, together with my spouse III) start working out (yuck)(dancing would be my pick...not boring and very fun and energizing IV) continue to execute the business plan drafted in January of this year. Projects include: selling to local retailers, continuing to trouble shoot labels, continuing to strive for branding and beautiful packaging, continue to photograph and upload products to website, implementing a new bathroom trio, soapmaking and bath and body to supplement candle and perfume line.

Is that enough? You betcha! Because I am also a mom, a wife, a neighbor, a citizen, and a very busy member of a local congregation where I participate and serve in my realm of giftings and responsibilities in excess of 4 nights a week. Oh, and I almost forgot....I DO have a day job: i run and administrate for my husband a construction office M-F 8-5 and sometimes beyond. How is that for a "stay at homer" as they say?
