I AM still here....

Good evening!!

It has been just a little while since I posted hasn't it...LOL But if I am going to fire this blog back up I can think of no better reason that to announce the launching of my BRAND NEW website.

It is entirely possible that you are reading this post after being redirected from that very website, but if you haven't the address is

In a few months I will have been in business for 6 years, and this step is one that was part of the master plan from the very beginning. Just took me a little longer to get here than I planned...but hey I am here now!! I am a little embarrased to admit that one of the things that held me back was fear. Can I afford it? Can I DO it? Will people find it? Will it be good enough? Am I good enough, clever enough to do THAT?? blah blah blah.... The last 12 months have been extremely frustrating, full of doubts and uncertainty.

Recently I saw this ....

"Frustration is the compost from which the mushrooms of creativity grow." Tumerica

....and it truly lifted a weight of my shoulders. It made me understand that the frustration was a GOOD thing and it was leading me to a good place.

I am also incredibly grateful for the people who have come into my life during the last year; some have simply passed through, others I am pleased to say are sticking around. The wisdom and encouragement they have bought with them has been invaluable to me and this process. Basically most of it just put a rocket up my butt and got me going...and often I think that is what we all need...a gentle push!

I am excited to be back online and very much looking forward to the future!
