Your post really hit home with me. I NEVER stop going or take time out for myself, not in a long time. I’m determined to be a success online, but get side-tracked a lot. I have my 3 year old grandson who is very very active, work on my business at night, and get hardly any sleep at all(which is not a good thing), and have just moved and have tons to unpack. I’m by myself so I have no one to help. By the time I’m online I’m exhausted, therefore distracted! So you’re advice to take some downtime for ME is just what I needed to hear! I have so many great ideas for my business and really need to take better care of myself so I’m not so distracted and am able to concentrate on putting my ideas into action.

The biggest thing is lack of time, but I’ll just have to work around that somehow!

Thanks again,

Lori James

what a gorgeous post. I’m sure many, many, many people resonate with what your saying. Sometimes it seems we work so hard and squeeze so much in, in the hope that when everythings done we can take a breather and have a massage. Every day for the past couple of months I’ve been meaning to take some time out and indulge in a massage. Hasn’t happened yet, it will very soon though, I have a holiday planned which is drawing closer every day. What I have found is I’m getting more done and having much more fun the closer the holiday comes. May be we should all be scheduling in more holidays through the year, yes?

Feed the Resident Code Monkey more bananas. Tell him, “itch, itch, eek, itch, eek!”

Translation:

“Work faster monkey and I’ll give you more bananas!”

Just as well my Resident Code Monkey is working behind the scenes…

Just wanted to check in with you. I really enjoyed this post. I find clarity when I’m alone and have time to reflect as well. Question for ya - have you written an ebook? If you have how are you promoting it besides giveaways? I’m in such a rut promoting my ebook!

Thanks Nikki, stay in touch!

Yes, you have that 100% correct, as usual. Stop lairising! LOL!

Enough stupidity for today?

That’s a very important point that you have brought forth from your portal (see?! Just can’t leave it), so I shall have to make sure that I make a note of my Google Analytics code to be able to keep it all updated. After all, I need to see what’s going on over here at the Lair.

19. Gaz-Man, now, let’s see - when are you NOT in a stupid mood?! Oh, when you’re in serious BG mode. Or when HLSC is out on a rampage.

20. Renee - email read, thank you for sending that through, I shall have to look into it in more depth (oh dear, now I feel another ‘portal’ joke coming on). Someone save me from myself, please!!

Not to be too quick, but I sent you an email. Just a thought for your eyes only.

Good luck,
Renee

I see you are using my Google ANALtics tag. Pesky little critters huh? I was gonna say, “give ‘em the ars*” but that is what they want. Bummer huh? PMSL.

Thanks for stopping by my portal(!) (See, it’ll never get old). Hard to take the whole darn thing seriously now, though…

Anyway, I wanted to tell you what a great favor you did for me by stopping by my blog, and one, that in fact, may help yourself as well…(pause, for dramatic effect)-

You see, I couldn’t understand why I was getting no traffic what-so-ever at my blog lately-Even with the poem and the new site-checked Google ANALytics-nothing. And then you stopped by and left a couple of comments, but still nothing showed up. I figured that one visitor doesn’t show up. And then it dawned on me-DUH-

When I changed my theme, I forgot to paste the Google ANALytics code into the new home page. It doesn’t do it automatically-boing-No code =’s no traffic stats.

So, all of the previous was to thank you, and noticing that you mentioned you may make some changes here-A LESSON FOR ALL-if you change your theme, remember to re paste the Google ANALytics code back into your theme home page.
