Good Morning Everyone and Happy New Year 2010!
Remember my “Working on the Change Gang” post? Well so much keeps going on that I use for an excuse to hold me back from starting these changes. That’s a mouth full! Some excuses are justified others are not. A family health crisis, yes. Just being lazy, no.
So now that issues are settled and some time is available, what’s holding me back? Issues are not really settled, I mean really, are they ever? And time available, Ha!
I found this quote the other day and it spoke to me:
The only difference between a rut and a grave is their dimensions. ~Ellen Glasgow
I am not in a grave, as we can see, so I’m just in a rut. I have been in a rut for awhile. I have been here before and I have gotten out.
Remember: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! Philippians 4:13
So, as the new year approaches…
Oh, it’s here! See, this has been a draft for a bit so….
I am eager to get out of the rut. Make some lasting changes. And I need you to come along for the ride!
I will be makings changes to this site and my others, and I am learning how to do some of this work on my own. There is a massive amount of information out there. You can learn how to do just about anything. I have books about Wordpress and Html, I have books about Photoshop and video cameras. I have bookmarked loads of sites that have great info and tutorials for free. One goal is to use what I have and what I understand to do what I can, without taking all my time to do it. I mean really, I do not want all my time going to this one thing.
Balance is such an important issue in our lives! 
God time, family time, work time to include creative time and sharing time, down time, fun time…
So I have set up a schedule for myself. It’s flexible, or course because things come up! I have to do this right now because I have adopted the habit of procrastination! I know, you wouldn’t think so but it’s true. I have become tired and lazy. Sure I have had reasons, justifiable excuses. But time is up, and it is time to get on with it!
It is Living Life!
Some changes to take place are: (Oh and my hope is that YOU, my friends my readers my followers, will help keep me accountable as I will also do for you)
A) Changes to the sites which mean some study time. It’s back to school for me! (Self-taught school that is!)
Carleysense is getting a new look! (It’s just going to take a little time to figure out how to accomplish it, but I am on it!)
1. Three areas that have become very important to me:
My Body My Temple & Own No One Nothing & In My Father’s Lap
I will be journaling my progress in these areas, sharing the tools I will be using, adding slide shows and video where helpful and starting a forum for us to share progress together and encourage one another.
That sounds like enough to do, doesn’t it?
But no, there is more…
B) Changes to my Etsy site as well as starting with other online store fronts like Cafepress and Zazzle!
Yup, after spending a year researching and working these sites I have learned a few things and I will be trying out some new things. This is exciting for me because it has motivated me to stretch my creative muscles. And that’s good news for you. I have been working on super cool designs and art that I know you’ll love!
This is a good day to start! What are you starting today?
