I'm arguing with myself about giving myself permission to do something that allows me to be filled with an infectious joy, but doesn't contribute to the household in a financial way...which we are lacking right now because of my husband's accident. I came to the conclusion that if I don't "fill my tank" with the things that give me joy, that it's hard for me to share joy with others. It's hard to give away what you don't have yourself. It's challenging to fight the feelings of guilt when taking time to do something for me. I do try to remember, though, that I have this God-given talent and I don't think it honors Him to keep that hidden or to not use it. I feel like sharing this gift is a big part of my life's purpose. <br><br>Now if I go to the audition and *don't get the part...then it's just God's way of saying there's something else to focus on right now. :-)<br><br>Thanks for sharing your thoughtful insights on this blog, Tre.

Sounds like you're havin a rockin morn ;) cool cool :) You had to feel awesome and wonderful for accomplishin that ecommerce store. Go you. Glad you found the blog and offered your 2 cents. Can one really organize a playroom? (coming from a former middle school teacher who would ask herself that every day when it was 7pm and i was STILL prepping/organizing!:) Hey Amy!

I like the idea of "baby stepping" through life. As a mother of 4 who works from home, I can often become overwhelmed by the grand scheme of things. Most days, I set small, realistic goals. For example, today started with "Revise eCommerce Store before the baby wakes up." When I finished it, I was quite relieved. Now if I can just get the playroom organized before lunch- I'll be doing REALLY well. Thanks for the great insight! Great ideas to consider. I like the idea of “baby stepping” through life.
