I’m ok, and how are you?

I realize that I left an “oh my Gawd, has she gone the crazy?” post before I disappeared.  I thank you for your concern, I apologize, I’m fine. 

This summer has been really crazy.  In a good way.  Last summer, as many of you know, was a transitional period for my business.  I made a lot of changes including letting go a lot of clients that paid the rent so I could move on to bigger and better things, and for awhile there, I thought I had made a huge mistake.

But, I hung in there and things eventually started going in the right direction.  But, this summer season was really the test.  I told myself that if I could maintain momentum through the summer I’d keep going, if I couldn’t, then it would be time for me to re-evaluate and face some hard facts.  I was really hoping to stay afloat—summer has always been mellow and slow, and I make my year in the fall and winter months.

Something strange happened—I got busy.  Busy enough to breathe.  Hurrah. 

Then?  I got slammed.  Bigger and badder and nastier slammed than I ever have been.  Some really phenomenal opportunities crossed my path in the last month and I had to jump at the chance.  So I’ve not slept much, I’ve not done much, except work. 

And look forward to my vacation this fall.  And paying off credit card bills and saving up a down payment for a house. 

I hate these periodic “I miss blogging” posts, but I really just can’t shut this place down.  It means a lot to me, and I hope it’s still here when I get things under control and in balance.  I’d like to make some changes to this old blog, but that, and my planned revamp/redesign of my own business site, for now, has got to be back burner.

In other news, I’m still on my kick to become a healthier me.  Have been on it for awhile.  But a few weeks ago I started a program that has clicked, and it’s allowed me to feel better and better every day—despite my hectic schedule.  It’s called The Abs Diet.  Which sounds pretty gimmicky and hokey, but it’s so not.  It’s all about eating nutritious food, eating small and frequent meals, and working out in an extremely efficient way.  All stuff that I can FIT IN to my life, it’s easy, and it’s working.  I’m down about 10 pounds since I started, and can see some musclees popping out too.  It’s about the only thing other than work that I am prioritizing right now.  I will look decent in my vacation photos come November, dammit.  The bathing suit is an amazing motivator.

So, things are good.  Extremely busy but in a really exciting way.  It’s 2:23am right now and I’ve been working this late for many many days in a row, but it’s been super fun, and super rewarding.  And I feel for the first time that all that has led up to this point has paid off.  Every class, every book, every job experience, every fumble and mistake. 

How are you?  I hope you’re staying cool.  I have been hearing about the horrid heat from everybody this week.  I love Alaska sometimes. 

MISS YOU!  I’ll try to be back soon.  If you feel so inclined, you can always reach me .
