Guess this is my life at the moment – only on 43things once a month. Life has been so hectic the past few months.

I have even fallen off the wagon on my journaling. I am taking a class – have to travel an hour each way to the 2.5 hour class and then the work for the class is another story! Hitting the learning curve has been challenging, but rewarding. I has left little time for other interests (i.e. 43things, redbubble, and email). Combined with repair issues at home and family emergencies, time has been at a premium.

Tomorrow I start anew. My pens (I have always loved many colors of pens – illuminates my mood when I write) and my notebooks are waiting. I have a lot to share with my old friend.

I have been thinking a lot about changes I have made since the first of the year. The journal provides a wonderful record of the day to day process of change. It give a great deal of insight into how I embrace or avoid the changes I attempt to make in my life. I think journaling is a positive force in the changes I have been able to make since the first of the year. There is a real power to putting to paper the thoughts I have in my head. It provides clarity and direction. And at the same time, I am creating a history of how that change occurred – a template for further change! I like that.

Four months since I’ve posted. Too long. I have been fortunate to have a good bit of work since I last posted. Things are going ok financially. I am always marketing myself. This is something that really isn’t easy for me, but is very necessary.
