Thanks for all the amazing, lovely emails and comments regarding my little bug. I “BLUV” you ALL. (Thanks, Backpacking Dad. You are all kinds of awesome for inventing that term.)
For his birthday, we took the boys to see Kung Fu Panda (AWESOME) and Iron Man (Also awesome, although not QUITE as awesome as the [...]
Well, as you can see I did not get my Photo Hunt picture up or my Saturday Psalm & Praise up. Today we had another Awana event. We left the house at 8 this morning and just returned home. Now the younger children are off to practice for another upcoming Awana event. Oh, don't forget all of the planning for our move, doctors appointments, dental appointments, passport appointments, and on and on. Oh yeah, we are still some-what trying to get a little bit of schooling done. As of yesterday, the house we are in is back on the market and has to be "viewable" within an hour's notice. All of this amidst morning aka All Day sickness(which thankfully isn't all that bad to be honest).Sooooo, Anyone tired yet????? I am exhausted. It is a good thing Oma is visiting for a couple of weeks
It’s Advent. Not that I’ve really noticed yet. I like Advent. I like the usual sense of anticipation, of looking forward, of pause. But this year Advent is rushing past. Life is busy. There’s work to be done, essays to be written and sermons too. Time seems to be hurtling on towards Christmas.
I wonder if that’s how it was for Mary and Joseph. They must have been looking forward to the birth. Getting excited. Getting things ready in the way that you do when a child is expected. My sister is expecting her 3rd child around Christmas. She’s been painting and getting things ready.
But then Mary and Joseph had to go. At the last minute they had to up sticks and head to Bethlehem. No time for arrangements to be made, no room to organise, no nursery toys, baby grows and bibs. Just a rush to get there.
And yet Advent is the time of waiting. Waiting to me suggests a pause. A nothingness waiting for something to happen to fill the
So, have you been busy lately?
If you’re like most independent professionals, the answer is a resounding “YES!” Between answering the phone, responding to email, managing details for multiple projects, checking to-dos off your lists, keeping up with Quickbooks, running to the bank, dropping packages off at the post office, you’re lucky to have time for lunch!
For many business owners, the busyness isn’t translating into depositing more checks, which is the point of all this busyness, right?
Can you relate? Do you ever feel like you are just too busy to market your business?
It’s the classic conundrum: There is so much to do that you don’t have time to do what is most important: find new customers. Hey, I ain’t pointing fingers … I can be just as guilty as the next guy. Our busyness can be our doom if we aren’t careful.
So what does the busy one-man-show super-businessperson do to avoid the busyness trap?

It's been the third day I am at my home and it will be another one week before I will be back at my college. My days back home had been quite relaxing... I don't know how to phrase it but at least I am doing what I liked most the whole day - surfing the Net. I am busy all day, sitting in front of my computer, surfing from site to site, from bloghopping to foruming.My attention totally focused on what I am doing with my computer, reality became vague in my mind. I don't think much of the current issue in my mind. I do came across the issue today when I rest and replied some SMSes but nothing really bothers me since I am eager to do typing and clicking rather than keying in text with my phone. No offense but it is so true...At last I can leave my mind blank for a whileThe time spent on waiting for SMS replies are fully utilised and thus giving me no time to think of what the people opposite the line is thinking. I know this is like running way from problems but what can I do? I just w
Extreme busyness, whether at school, or college, kirk or market, is a symptom of deficient vitality; and a faculty for idleness implies a catholic appetite and a strong sense of personal identity.
