Now that my kids are home, hopefully, I will begin to finish the work I started. I did get a good jump on cleaning the weekend before I left for the conference. The good news? I scored the summer off from school. That's good, one less thing. I hope we both get a lot done this summer. I'll keep you posted.<br />Blessings,<br />Laurie1writerlaurieepps@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12257614630313547483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-38079032443639118462013-05-29T19:12:13.550-04:002013-05-29T19:12:13.550-04:00Don't kid yourself Patricia, Blue Ridge is wor...Don't kid yourself Patricia, Blue Ridge is work. It is terribly rewarding and fun, but you are still among professionals. You aren't just there to have fun, but to learn and network. Would I do it again? Absolutely! Was it a key element to my growth as a writer? Definitely. Real confession: Next year, I am definitely going to load my columns in advance. MIght this be another column for me? Probably. Thanks for stopping by. There will be more to come.<br />Blessings,<br />Laurie1writerlaurieepps@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12257614630313547483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-85219123285610576912013-05-29T19:06:48.999-04:002013-05-29T19:06:48.999-04:00Perhaps we can encourage each other Vonda.

So I've been asking my friends and family to give me three words to describe my personality. My number one word is Exciting, but the number two word is Workaholic. You see, dear friend, it is so much easier to say than it is to do!

With all the new responsibilities, I've been struggling to get on some type of schedule.<br /><br />Memorial Day Weekend, I decided to re-enter the Real Life Zone. My mother and I shopped together. Flowers and veggies got planted. The house got a good cleaning. You know something? I'm refreshed and ready to dive into the fray once again.<br /><br />My head is brimming with ideas for blog posts, my WIP, and even marketing.<br /><br />Susan J.

Sometimes I feel that I just can't stop and take the time to just be...and not do. There's always so much to do!<br /><br />I'm trying to learn this important lesson, but even now I'm stressed over how behind I am on everything. <br /><br />But even God rested, so I must, too!Vonda Skeltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15709374938210704402noreply@blogger.com
