It seems I haven’t really blogged in days. Wow. Wonder why and how that happened?

Well a new project has been taking up a lot of my time. Please look at Written Word Services. I am really excited about this. I really feel like this is my niche. And especially writing about all the things that I have been going to school for. So prepare!

Getting ready to move too. Time is flying right by me it seems.  There aren’t a whole lot of months left between now and the move, so you know I will be working as fast as I can, sorting, yard sales, may even do a bit of ebay and amazon to get rid of some things that I just am not moving with me.

Let me know what you think of Written Word Services!

I had great plans for this week. Really I did. Was going to get things going with a bang, this first few days of 2008.

Well things aren’t working out quite as I had planned.

The thing about it is this. Most New Years Eve resolutions don’t make it past the end of January. With all the best intentions in the world, life just doesn’t go as according to plan when it comes to resolutions.

There are ways to get those Resolutions to stick. Taking them in small chunks is first. Let’s look at one of my resolutions. To write 80 articles a month for WRG. Think about that one now and my stomach does flips.

Well that is only 20 a week. Still sounds like a lot. Break it down even further that is 4 a day. That I can do. That is only 1000 words a day. I can surely handle that. OK will stick to that resolution.

Next thing to do to help with that resolution. Life happens. I can’t write these articles if I can’t research. Seems that is difficult in days like yesterday when I have no internet. Opps didn’t see that one coming. Didn’t see that they changed their submitting would change this week either. So now it is Friday and I only have 1 out of 20 done. Well that is a bit discouraging. I lost all of Wed and Thursday.

So you need to readjust and be flexible. OK so I can’t get my 8 articles written. If I think I will get my 4 today plus the 8 I am behind done today I am even more discouraged. Instead take the 8 and divide them up between today and the 5 days next week. That is just a bit of an extra article a day. That sounds a bit more doable doesn’t it?

My point is this, find ways to stick to your resolutions by breaking them down and then being flexible. Don’t give up at minor set backs. We are always going to have those. Learn to flow with punches and you will see come February you will still have your goals and moving ahead!

Tomorrow is the day! Now I know you are thinking, we know it is the last day of 2007. That isn’t what I am talking about. Tomorrow I finish my Business Mastery Course. Yeah Me! This means that I can be holistic life counsellor. It seems like I have been studying forever. So now I have a certification in Nutrion and BodyCare, Advanced Aromatherapy, and Holistic Health training.

But this has really made me think, especially the business mastery class that I am completing now. And it is with this in mind that I am taking down this site.

OK don’t panic now, ~to blog~ is staying where it should. I have put a lot into this blog. Blogs may come and go, I have/will put in a business blog, but this is my personal blog, of sorts.

But what am I? I am an aromatherapist, I am a soap maker, I am a writer. This site is supposed to showcase that. And it does not do an adequate job at it. So I am going to change that. Take it in a new direction. So the main part of this site will be coming down. For the moment it will be just pointed at the blog. I need to find a design that will be fitting for it. It may take me a few days.

I’ve considered two things. PLR and content writing work.  With my writing for WRG I don’t get a lot of writing in my expertise but with these two things I may be able to turn around the direction of my writing. That will be a good thing. While WRG provides me a much needed income, I need to start doing what I love.

Also on my “todo” list is a detailed business plan and plan of action. More on that later. But I need defined goals, and plans of action to get them done.

So stay tuned for changes in 2008! It’s going to be MY year!!!
