A whole month of silence. It wasn't intentional, but it was needed. It is humbling when you realize that truly you can't do it all. In fact you have no business trying to do it all. I took the month of July off. I wish I could say it was to re-focus, but truthfully it was to just survive. I've always struggled with balance, as in, I try to balance way to much and the proverbial plates eventually all come crashing down. Even though I wasn't trying to re-focus I think the result has been that I have a lot of creative juices flowing. I've got a lot to say and for better or worse I plan on saying it.
I'm going to Allume Social in October. A dream of mine for a couple of years. It seems like poor timing to drop the blog for a month this close to the conference, but I think I am looking at the conference as a way to reevaluate what I am doing with this space and hopefully some advice on how to get to where I want to go. I have big plans (I've had them for awhile) and I'm excited to see what the future holds. Over the last month my attention has been focused on my wee one and getting a small childbirth ed/doula services business going. It hasn't been idle time.
Thanks for not dropping off of my readership- trust me it will be worth it in the end. God is doing something in my heart and mind and I just know it is going to come out the end of my finger tips.

I think your heart is beautiful! You will have a blast! I went to the first Relevant and it is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI turned down a last minute offer last week for Allume. I'd love to be there but ticket + plane + hotel just isn't in the plans right now. I hope you share LOTS of what you learn.
