Whew! I have been one seriously slacking blogger! Mmph mmph mmph! (Why? I’on know – there are 104 drafts on my blog and several hunnert mo’ on my ‘puter. *Le Sigh*)

BUT…I’ve got a lot going on. A.LOT. Good stuff though. Mainly. Trying to prioritize it all. Let go of anything that isn’t really going to help me (or anyone else move forward). Pushing myself to do not not only do “more” but to do what matters most, what’s critical, what’s purpose-driven without sending myself spiraling into “overwhelm”. (More about “overwhelm” in future posts)

I will tell you this – I am ready to do some big things. AND to do some small things in BIG way. It’s time. Actually, it’s probably quarter past time. LOL

But to really do it right, there needs to be some overhauling in various parts of my life.

First & foremost, gotta figure out what this block is I seem to have with my health. Per my most recent visit, my doc wants to talk meds which I understand but apparently I don’t want to accept. Problem is getting myself to act on what needs to be done, to dig my heels in and make things happen. And for the life of me, I can NOT figure out why I’m resisting. It isn’t anything I CAN’T do, it’s everything that I MUST do. So what gives? Gonna let that marinade for the rest of the week…in between workouts. (More about all dat in a future post.)

I really need to buckle down and get the ‘web’ stuff done. I’m redesigning the blog. Gonna redesign my writer’s website too. There’s another site in the works too (right after I buy domains.) Trying to find graphics to use on the sites. Or find someone to do some artwork for me. I’ll need logos soon too. (Yes!) Pulled a bunch of images that I like. Had a color palette in mind and then – WHAM! Found some images that I like that aren’t even remotely related to the color scheme I had in my head. LOL

One hold-up on all of this? (I give you ONE guess, just ONE). Yep…ME. I’m such a visual person. Combine that with being a “DIY” person and you get an instant recipe for procrastination (as if I needed another recipe for procrastination). I need to just give my ideas/thoughts to the developer and trust her to bring me back something FABULOUS. What do I do instead? Make my own mock-ups. LOL

Don’t laugh – I do that with my books too. On the desk in my home office are three books that I’m working on (poetry collection #2, my first novel, and a non-fiction offering). I have the titles, the theme of each book, and searched for potential book covers some time ago. What did I do next? Created a mock cover for each, wrapped it around another book and set them on my desk. (If it wasn’t for shame, I’d take them to Barnes/Noble, put them on the shelf and snap pics of them. LOL) What? I’m just honing my visualization skills. Seeing is believing. If you believe, you can achieve. N’ahmean?

I need to work through my bidness structure so I can truly get moving on some other things. Let the fullness of my dream catch some sun. Once I move beyond the legalities and money crunching, it’s on to logos, slogans and making things pop!

I think I’m going to start a certification program in July. Did I mention that before? Just need to work out a few details – logistics, final costs, if THIS is THE program for me. I know I’m going to do the certification but there are quite a few programs. I want to align myself with the one that’s best for me.

Oh well, time for “work” work….you know…my full-time “temporary” job. The one that’s helping monetarily pave the way so that I can live my life out loud. On purpose. (Just seeing that in writing makes me smile. You should try it. Real talk.)

I’m out. For now!

Live DELICIOUSLY!
