I need a breath of fresh motivation. When life takes over and pressing priorities seem overwhelming it is really tough to stay motivated. Working for yourself has many rewards. The ability to have some level of control over your work life, when you work, how often you work, etc.. That flexibility can also be a disadvantage. When life gets complicated, it is too easy to put your work on the back burner to deal with what feels like more pressing priorities. So, for the past two weeks, my Jewelry business has definitely been on the back burner. That leaves me in the position of having to get re-charged, and start fresh. It also means I lost any momentum I had going. So I am not going to wait till Monday, waiting is a cop out. I am going to complete a minimum of three tasks today (calls, mailing etc..) that will move my business in a positive direction. I will also be purchasing a Mega Millions ticket, on the off chance that God has grander plans for me. Then I will gear up to be out in the world at wrestling tournaments, and hockey games, and restaurants, wearing FABULOUS Stella & Dot jewelry, ready and waiting for the compliments and questions about where to get it. My cards and catalogs will be ready to offer, and I WILL follow-up! ( I am basically giving myself a pep talk right now, and you are getting the unique opportunity to hear me talk to myself. If you were driving past me today, you might even get to SEE me talk to myself, as I give myself another pep talk while I drive) So have a fantastic weekend everyone!
I enter this new week a little tired, but smiling. Why? No drama this weekend. We had sunshine, and sports, and cuddle time--- less the drama. Most families don't experience the intense level of emotions that the Rhodes clan does. Sure, they have the hectic life of families, perhaps some fighting, the normal mess--- perhaps a little teen hormone induced drama....but we have drama of a different kind in our house. The kind of drama caused by a brain that is shooting off crazy chemicals induced by years of trauma. When our son Victor is home, the whole world is a great big land mine. Saying the wrong thing, calling him out on behavior, or even suggesting that he not eat a 4th serving of ice cream can cause the the peace to recede, and for chaos to ensue. He is now in a boarding school for kids with emotional issues. As sad as it is that our family isn't all together--- I must admit that the peace in our household is a welcome blessing. We are learning more and more
