Not surprisingly, life hasn’t really slowed down very much so far this year. Though our home improvement efforts have been relegated to an occasional weekend project, I am busy as ever with new creative endeavors. A few weeks ago, I decided it was time to give kareneisenbraun.com an overhaul. I’m tired of the design and wanted something with more conventional navigation. I also wanted to shift the focus of the site more towards health and wellness, since that is currently the focus of my writing. I’ve been putting a lot of time into the new design, but it’ll probably still be a few weeks before the site is finished, since I’m adding some new pages as well.
After that’s finished, I’m planning on building an affiliate storefront, which will contain books, yoga gear, and other products related to mind-body fitness, wellness, and eco-sensitive living. I’m really excited about creating the new site — I bought a fantastic domain name, and the store will be closely integrated with Have a Namaste. In the meantime, I have some books showcased on my Recommended Books page. I’ll be keeping this page updated with books that I’m reading as well as others that I find to be of value in the health and wellness arena.
Work is also going very well. After negotiating a rate increase with one of my clients, I have shifted my daily work plan around, and have been very happy about the income I’ve been earning this month. As far as writing goes, I’ve found that the subjects I’ve been exploring for Healthy Theory have all been fairly research intensive, so I haven’t been posting there as often as I’d expected. But I do have four articles up on the site now (see below). Though they are a bit time-consuming, writing for Healthy Theory allows me to learn more about topics I’m interested in anyway, so I don’t mind putting in the extra time. I would still like to post to Healthy Theory more frequently when (or if!) my other creative projects wrap up. But knowing how plans can change, I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m immersed in some new projects before long. (I do still have that wedding album to put together ….)
