New creative endeavors

I have reached a point where I am struggling with what to do with this blog. I have been thinking that maybe I will start feeling motivated to blog more now that the wedding has passed, but I’m not sure if that’s really true. Even with its redesign, my blog isn’t exciting me the way it used to. For a while there, it was my main creative outlet, and I loved thinking of new things to write about. All those topics that I was exploring — natural living, authenticity, etc. — are still important to me, but not at the forefront of my mind any more.

Finding balance … and planning a wedding!

Last week I had lunch with a friend and we were talking about how life never seems to slow down. She just got married in Mexico after a near two-year engagement, is looking at new homes, and is managing constantly shifting responsibilities in her career as a regional manager for a cosmetics company. I am planning a wedding in a mere two months and as a result have practically ceased all blogging and freelancing activities. There simply isn’t enough time to accomplish everything; I feel like even if I had six extra hours in every day, I still wouldn’t be able to get it all done.

For a while, I was pushing myself to accomplish as much freelance writing as possible in addition to my part-time job. I was determined to meet my daily income goals, and it was working.
