just breathe.

what a whirlwind week. and a half. or two. or month.

i have neglected you, blog, and i am incredibly sorry.

i have been on the go. juggling work projects, friends, family, apartment chores [you wouldnt imagine the things that were in my fridge], and the list goes on.

so i have about 5 huge projects at work right now. they are pretty much consuming my thoughts which is not as cool as it sounds. wait, that doesnt sound cool at all. probably because it isnt. i am rebranding an accounting firm, rebuilding an internal website, creating an interactive eBook, maintaining our public website, blaaah blah blaaah blah blaaah. so im constantly needing to be creative but that creativity has since been cleaned out, like my fridge was this weekend.

now, as far as the fridge goes, that was needed. it was in dire need of being cleaned out. as far as my creativity, i accidentally threw it away. kind of like marilyn's drivers license ;-) [but she found it, dont you worry] right now i need to be more creative than ever and cant seem to find the missing pieces! i wish i could work outside of the office [like some people, cough cough] but i cant because i have to multi task ... but come on, who can use their creativity to the fullest when surrounded by grey walls??

i blame my cube. not me.

im not really sure who reads this or if anyone even does [that would be fantastic if i was just writing to myself- ha] BUT i had a lovely little phone conference with a man that i work with tonight. and he was telling me how he would like to branch out into more of the business side of a company vs. the more technical engineer side. i thought that was cool. and he bounced ideas off of me which had me convinced i knew what i was talking about.

anyways, point being, if anyone who reads this is in the same ever changing industry that i am in, check this website out: www.hubspot.com they have endless marketing tools and resources. some days i wish i could hide out at a coffee joint and just read these things and dig around in the tools they offer [yes i am aware i sounded like a complete nerd. deal with it]

okay, now for my words of wisdom [as most of you have been waiting for....]

breathe.

yup. thats it. thats all i have to say. just breathe. i did it today and it felt great. not like "breathe" like you do every day but take a deep breath. i was outside today and i just stood in the parking lot breathing. sure i might have looked like a fool but heck it is fall. its the chilly air, the leaves, the comfort of jeans and sweatshirt and a cup of hot cider that makes me tingle. and i loved it. and i even felt semi relaxed. so take a breath of the fresh air and know that tomorrow will be a better day. why? because God is gripping you in His hands and Quality Dairy will soon be selling apple cider ;-)

la ta di da.... breathe. relax. happy fall.
