I am just beginning to recover from my busy two weeks and it is already Monday again. I am fighting the urge to feel down about this.
I started catching up on blogs and it has really depressed me. I miss all the old stuff. Stuff that used to seem so fun to me (crafting, etc.) seems far off and it is hard to see everyone's "stuff." I used to eye roll at some of this stuff but now it looks like good, mindless fun. I could use some of this right now.
Which segways into the new feeling that I just don't belong anymore. (no pity please, not what I am going for) but I don't. I am considering dropping out of the group even. I don't contribute much anymore and honestly, I don't like the reminder of how little participation we are involved in.
I am drinking coffee out of a mini mug that I have to refill every 3 minutes. It's ridiculous.
I have hired 3 new salespeeps and have a sales training session tomorrow. Deb A. is one of them. Funny how she keeps popping back into my life.
I hope the sales people ROCK the ad sales.
Our last issue was our 12th. our 12th issue. Wow. I still go back and forth from wanting to sell to wanting to keep.
We barbecued this weekend. I tried a made up marinade. It was good.
I'm getting worried about the radio show. Talking for an hour sounded like a good idea at the time. I love that I have come to a place where I don't feel the intense need to make everything I do "work". If it doesn't work or becomes a drag, I'll let it go. I think that is the true entrepreneurial way...lots of trying, lots of failing & some successes with an eventual home run. It is the way of the entrepreneur. We wouldn't have it any other way. I am glad I am this person. I never could 9 to 5 it. I ALWAYS thought I could do it better than the boss. Lol
I AM excited about the women's networking group starting back up. That, I am really really excited about. The new twist of it being centered around support instead of just drumming up business is exciting. Anyone can come. Heck, YOU can come if you want. You don't even have to work in order to come! I wonder what craziness God has planned for such a group.
I may take today off too since I have no meetings. One more day might do me some good. Unless you saw my desk. Then you'd say, Steph- at least clean off your desk.
Sorry about my lame blog lately. For a mind that is always filled with endless thoughts and ideas, can you imagine just how drained my brain is to not be able to have something to blog about?
Amazing. I am STRUGGLING with the coffee blog too which I need to keep for the business. But when I don't have anything, I don't have anything. I totally understand writer's block now. It is a REAL thing.
Well, Happy Monday dear friends. If I don't see you, please know you are in my heart!

well, you can read my blog and never feel bad about not doing crafty things because i never do crafty things and there is not an ounce of stuff in my life that would ever make anyone feel like there is something missing in their life and quess what? i like that...it makes me feel good to know i have nothing other people want...no, seriously, i don't think i am saying it right, but i NEVER want to be the person who makes people think they are missing something, nope, not for me
onto other things...i do a few things with the group but i don't feel like i fit and i'm okay with that because it's just the way i feel all the time and i'm fine with it...i like my little life with my little family...i have come to grips with the fact that i'm a loner, not loser, a loner...i know that is not what you are saying about yourself, i'm just saying, i don't feel pity for you, i get what you are saying...i'm not sure if you should quit the group...i myself offer nothing to the group, but i still enjoy being part of it and i have found many great resources and ideas through it, so i guess what i am saying is that i am fine using the group and not giving anything back...boy, i really am pretty rotten and need to work on myself
your networking/support group sounds very cool...i hope it is a smashing hit and i hope the same for your radio show...i think talkng for an hour is going to go by really quick and it will be filled with great stuff
wow, happy birthday to the magazine...that seems like a quick year...thanks for letting me be a part of it...no matter what you decide to do with it, i'm glad i've gotten a chance to be included
glad you posted, hope you take the day off and enjoy it
sorry this was long and most of it made no sense!
oh, writer's block...so NOT a made up thing, now way! that is a totally real thing, i hear you on that one
You better not quit the group! Just stick around whether you participate or not. You can go "dormant" for a while but don't leave.
Go get yourself a bigger coffee cup!
I can't believe it's been a year for the magazine!! You've done amazing things with it this past year. You really are very good at this. Happy Anniversary!
what about when your "crafts" is your entrepreneur arena? I like what you said about if it works, it does, if not it doesn't. I'm just having fun with it, tweaking here and there... trying this and that. I like being able to do it while I'm still hanging with the family.
