Stress is a funny thing. I find a little stress is a good thing. It keeps me doing stuff, taking action and that keeps me moving forward. In the past I’ve had quite the issue with stress as well. When things get overwhelming I tend to … well I eat. And I stress. And I […]

Day 72: This Is Who I Am
Once upon a time I had great dreams. But for one reason or another, which I could never really put my finger on, nothing ever came of those dreams and they quietly drifted away. Except they didn’t really. I always felt this vague sense of frustration. And an annoying sense that one day I would […]
Day 71: Slow, Sure Change
One of the things that I’m learning both from writing this blog and from working on my business is that its the accumulation of effort that makes the difference. I’m one of those people who, when undertaking a task, throw lots of time and effort at it in the beginning until it gets to a […]
Day 70: Make An Offer
Today we made an offer on the house we found. It’s the first time I’ve ever even got close to buying a home and frankly it’s a scary process. But I think I’m handling myself fairly well. I’ve thought through all the aspects that concern me and I’m fairly confident of where I stand and […]
Day 69: A Snail’s Pace
I’ve been working away at keyword research. In some ways I feel like I’m moving ahead in leaps and bounds but seriously I think that’s because I just had a break of about ten days. An hour a day is not a lot of time, particularly when you’re new at something. Still, my commitment is […]
Day 68: We Found A House!
I think we’ve found our house. It’s pretty much exactly what I had in mind when we first started looking and yet somehow not what I expected at all. Either way I’m so excited! So now we’re into the negotiation stage – oh my gosh. How nerve wracking. And exciting. And yet, even with all […]
Day 67: Change Is Good
Sometimes I can actually feel myself changing. At least that’s what I think it is. For no particular reason I’ll suddenly feel tearful and overwhelmed. It happens in a flash and then it’s gone. It’s as if everything in my world is adrift and I’m not sure what’s going to happen next. In the past […]
Day 66: Changing My Focus
I’m struggling, both with my belief and timing. The problem is the endless chaos that is life swirls around and, at times, becomes overwhelming. It’s all I can do to keep up with the demands of my day without taking an hour out to work on this blog. At present I’m managing maybe three hours […]
Day 65: Renewed Hope
Time to get organised and really get this things moving. So where am I at? I want to revamp the site that I have. I have ideas about how I plan to do that. I am pottering along toward achieving that goal. I have no other option but to spend the time that I have […]
Day 64: Exhausted
I don’t know what I was expecting to happen going on a driving holiday after all that’s been going on this last year. I am totally exhausted. I tend not to sleep very well at the best of times but when away from home it’s even worse. I spent much of today sleeping or lying […]
