A Wake Up Call Video

I was browsing YouTube again (don't worry it was during my non-work time) and I saw this.  The audio is a little low, but I liked it anyways.  Enough to share with you because I've said some of those things and when I sat to work, I forgot almost everything and entered my own world where  was no longer tired.  =o)

Making Time

(source)

One of the things I most struggle with is the one a lot of people struggle with also: time.  "I don't have time for that" is something I'm sure has been said once or twice before.  This whole "launch" has postponed over and over because of that.  I have my schedule which I really try to follow, and most of the time I do, but sometimes something happens and I abandon it.  I just got tired/frustrated/aggravated/upset that I wasn't doing what I wanted to do.  And not only what I wanted to do but what inside I felt I NEEDED to do. Maybe it's a stay-at-home-mom thing, I dont know. I was just...like I said, tired/frustrated/aggravated/upset.

Why Can't I Do This?

Since I've had to add to the list of things I have to do, I haven't been able to work on NE-Things as much as I want to.  I've done work mentally of course.  You know: what do I need to do, how I can fix it, no that won't work, how about this, where did I put that?  But to sit and do physical work?  Nope.  Not on Ínarú. Not on Jack & Justine.  And according to my vision board, I am slightly behind.  Considering April is a week away, I am actually VERY far behind.  That's why I had to make a decision.

A Different Kind Of Post

I wanted to write a little something about what I shared with an acquaintance.  I'll call her Sally.  Well, Sally and I are not exactly acquaintances that just met, but we're also not exactly friends.  We worked together many, many years ago and kept in contact through Facebook.  There's nothing more than the usual interaction within the posts and photos.  Sometimes, we communicate through the chat.  Usually just to touch up on something we may have read in the news feed.

Well recently she wrote me just to ask how I keep going.  Writes that she knows I have my child and that should be reason enough, but how do I keep going?  At first I had no idea what she was talking about.  I even want back through my profile page to see if I can figure out what she was talking about.  But I had to ask her to clarify.  Sally reads my posts, reads about the projects I want to do, how I start and something happens so I have to stop.  She says she reads about obstacles that I come across, "missions" I have to go through sometimes.  That she knows other people have "real challenges like healthwise" they face so they have a reason to keep going because if not they won't be "ok", but if I don't keep going I'll be fine.

Here We Go Again...AGAIN

Ok.  This is it.  One more go at this.  I did try, but there are so many things that get in the way.  I think mostly it was time.  Like I just had a hard time fitting it in.  I am not the busiest person in the world, mind you.  I just always found others things to do.  Be it for the house or for my family.  I'm not complaining, I just...I wished I had more for ME. 

NE Things

NE Thing for NE One.  That's how it started.  Something for everyone.  This was years ago. Sadly, due to different reasons, it never took off.  I loved the name though and it stuck with me always.

I didn't have the funds to launch what I wanted.  What was it?  Just things that I created: clothes, accessories, etc.  My own designs that I would sew or crochet.  I had no intention of starting big, or even starting "medium".  Its just that things were very tight and work took up a lot of my time.  I was never under the impression that I would do NE Things full time.  I'm still not.  Obviously, like many other designers feel, if it was possible I'd do it full time in a heartbeat, but I've always been realistic.  I was happy with it being a just part time thing.
