Sorry for my abscense over here for the past couple days. I've been a busy-busy little worker-bee and it's amazing how much more you can get done in a day without blogging, huh? haha! who knew?! ;)
In all reality, I kinda snapped this weekend. (or perhaps it could best be described as a tear filled implosion onto the mister's shoulder) So, in an effort to a) give myself some time to catch-up on work and b) try not to jab a Le Pen into my eye, I decided I needed a relaxed week of posting over here. Ok, maybe two. Or maybe more, until I can catch up with stuff and center myself again, mmkay?
Ooh, just saying that makes me feel about a million times lighter. Ahhhhhh, can you feel that space and time opening up? Yeaaahhh, I can!
I'll still be posting, of course- just maybe only when I have something to say or really cool to share? (imagine that!) Instead of requiring myself to muster up a post every single day, even when I'm not feeling it, even when I'm hurried, even when I could be spending that time so much more wisely by I dunno, meeting deadlines or something!
I'm really feeling some transitional pains shifting from full time blogger, to full time Mojo Maker (I just decided that's my new job title) and it's all happened quite a lot faster than I ever expected it to! But it's time I take the reins and control this awesome beast instead of just trying to hang on for the ride.
I need to shift my priorities a bit and I know you guys understand. I need to remember that this blog is not my job any longer, but a complement to it, an extension of it. And I really need to give myself the space to figure out exactly how I want to use this blog to better benefit us both, yes you + me. (there's also some serious re-branding that needs to go on- I'm working on that too!)
So, while it may be a little quieter around here while I'm figuring things out, in between posts you can always find me on twitter. I've also be snap snapping away over on Instagram lately- that's what I took all the photos above with! Seems my non-work life pretty much revolves around food, flowers and cats- sounds about right. Are you on Instagram too? Find me as "missmodish", let's be friends!
Good to see you back! and it is true that internet shrinks your day! Spring hugs to you!

You keep it up my love!! You've got a lot on your plate and you're still doing a better job than most would even be able to!! So you need to take a day off blogging for a day or two.....you deserve a break every once in a while!

Sometimes you just gotta go where life takes you! If any readers are whining because a certain post doesn't go up at a certain time on a certain day, I'd like to see them try and keep up content like you and other awesome bloggers! :) I love your writing voice, so I'm glad you're not going away entirely, plus you already have a loyal following so no real worries there. And I loooove Instagram. Have you heard of Postagram? You can turn them into postcards for 99 cents! Now I'm doubly obsessed!

I'm so happy you were able to take a step and evaluate your situation. I can imagine it must been hard sitting in front of the computer when had such a gorgeous Friday and Saturday here. I hope you're on your way back to your center and if you wanna chill gimme a ring. Take care of yourself!

I have that same green winking owl as you! There must be more out there. Start a club?

Everyone snaps. You have every right to snap. You ARE INSANELY BUSY. At least you're admitting yourself you need to do less before you burn out, most people just try to take on too much. I praise you for showing a bit of reality in the "blog" world. It's refreshing and honest. I hope all goes smoothly for you.
