I wanted to thank you all for the kind emails and comments with regards to the recent decision to focus on my most important role as mama, mama, and homemaker (how very 1950s of me, eh?). I must say, I am feeling inspired as Mike and I work on my new website each night after the kids are in bed.
I think I have scared some people by letting them think I won't be doing anything creative for myself if I give this up, but I know it will be quite the opposite. I now have more time to take the time to teach myself more knitting, crocheting, and sewing (all things I was unable to do efficiently enough to sell).
We are currently working on making a section with a collection of links to my favourite recipes and tutorials including squash soup, basic cracker recipe, and chocolate cherry cookies. I also plan to share recipes for my recent venture into homemade body care products pictured above. The goal is to continue with my regular writing, but sharing more of our favourite things. I hope to create a more sustainable writing/posting schedule and linking up with some carefully chosen blogging memes. Not because I have to, but because it keeps me creative, introspective and challenged. It is for me as much as it is for those who read my blog.
I look forward to acting from a place of generousity and gratitude and hope it brings me to where I am meant to be while allowing myself and others to live our ideal life today.
I will let you know when it goes live and how to win the giveaway I am planning!
go gently + be wonderful
