Check out my new posts for Living with Clariity!
Living with Clariity is a site dedicated to supporting and equipping moms to be better parents and family CFOs as they navigate the many monumental changes in life: getting married, having kids, buying a new home, changing jobs, putting the kids through college, etc. I am really excited to be a part of this new project!
Strangely enough, I seem to be in a similar position as I was a little over a year ago: eager to quit my “day job” so that I can freelance full time. Only this time, the job in question is a part-time position that was never intended to be long term. And when I left my job in marketing a year ago, I never would have dreamed that I would be where I am today in my writing career.
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 haven’t been terribly happy with my productivity so far this week. It’s hard getting back into the groove. It’s almost like I am starting over. The part-time job does not need my services this week, and so I am trying to get used to being productive at home again and working a full day without any wedding distractions. It’s a bit discouraging, because I feel like I have spent the better part of three days in front of the computer and don’t have a whole heck of a lot to show for it.
As you can see, I have switched my blog over to its new URL and layout on WordPress! I still have a few tweaks and modifications to make, and I need to figure out exactly what I want to do with the sidebar, but I’m pretty pleased with how the blog is coming along….
I was feeling cooped up in the house this afternoon, so I decided to escape to Starbucks. My last attempt to write in a coffee shop wasn’t very successful (you can read about it here), but what’s the fun of freelancing if you can’t change up your surroundings every once in a while? Besides, it’s way too nice of a day to be stuck inside. I’m on the patio, where the music is at a much more practical volume and the sounds of passing cars are surprisingly easy to tune out.
