I'm Back...again!

So, it must be the time of year that does this to me.  I always get inspired to start sharing what is going on here around October-ish, then things get busy and I fizzle out.  The inspiration is a-plenty this year.  October is when our whirlwind of holidays begins.  We have my son's birthday, my sister's birthday, Halloween, Thanksgiving, a trip back to Wisconsin, Christmas...and this year, baby #3 due on Christmas.  We moved across the country, dragged my sister along for the ride and built a new house!  Also, my cousin Rachel started a beautiful, heartfelt blog about her and her husband's journey through fertility and marriage.  Her writing is so wonderful.  Considering the personal content, she manages to share enough that one can empathize, but it's is not bogged down with utter sadness or loss.  She has a light inside of her and it shows through her writing, and will one day show through her child(ren) :)

With all of these things crumpled up at the end of the year, I get super busy!  Hands-on, blood-sweat-tears busy!  I have so many projects that I have been working on in the new house, and for birthdays and holidays.   I get asked multiple times to tell all about them and so it dawns on me, MY BLOG!  It's just sitting there!  So, I am back at it.

So, now to tackle the problem of my inclination to "fizzle out".   I had been using my Facebook page as a sort of blog because it feels far less formal and I get instant feedback (likes, comments, etc.).  I am really going to try to hold myself accountable and maintain my free little plot of internet-land, but it will work out a million times better if I feel like I am doing it for someone else (What can I say? I'm a people pleaser!)  So, if you leave evidence of reading my posts (like it, digg it, share it, comment, follow, etc.) I will be less inclined to laze about and neglect this beautiful opportunity to share with everyone and create awesome memories of me and my families' shenanigans!

A few things have changed.  I no longer have my Gallery Pages, and will slowly switch focus of the blog from "OhLeftyStudios Business" to a more casual "Monica and her projects and stuff" kinda blog.  I feel like this is more suitable since I am not currently focusing my energies on the business.  Family is where it is at!  :)  No worries, in due time, OhLeftyStudios will be back in action, I just gotta get all my babies out of diapers first.  Also, I really have this huge urge to delete all of my blog and start over .  A little part of me has a compulsion to look/feel like I got it all together...but I don't!  Imagine that!  So, instead of starting from scratch, I am just "going from here" and letting history ring true.

On that note, ENJOY!  I am back for now!
