The Balance Issue Again

Published at July 22nd, 2008

I think my life gets off balance when I get obsessed with things. Right now I am obsessed with online stuff so I am spending way to much time on the net.
I try to go outside and redirect my energy but then as soon as I come back inside I am on the internet again.
It’s not like I am playing around on the internet. I am actually doing work but it’s probably work that doesn’t have to be done all in one day. I usually get on an idea and then there is just no stopping me.
I did lunge my horse today, I pick some weeds, water some trees and my garden and played with my 3 yr old for a while.
Since HerProBlog.COM is officially launched I have more time to work on some other things I have been neglecting. I updated my horse community. I really like how it looks now.
The other day I worked on changing the logo for iwebis but that didn’t turn out very well. I still need to come up with a better logo.
So as you can see, I have been working on important things. I just need to figure out how to not be so obsessed with getting things done when there is no deadline. I guess I trying to get things done before school starts again which is next month. Next month!!! Oh boy.

HerProBlog.COM Has Finally Launched!

Published at July 15th, 2008

It’s been a rough couple of week because of how busy I was with this project but now it’s finally launched.

July 15, 2008 marks the first official launch date of a project I have been working on for over a year and a half. It’s been a lot of hard work but is one of the most exciting projects I have ever worked on.

HerProBlog.COM is a website dedicated to helping women bloggers create and maintain professional quality blogs. The project has already brought a lot of interests and subscribers. The website is starting out with a some great stats:

Page Rank 3
132 Subscribers
426,000 Alex Rank

HerProBlog.COM is a multi-authored blog. We have a total of seven authors including myself.

I would love for you to stop by my new website. Men and women both can benefit from this site.

Busy, Busy, Work, Work - This Summer is Flying By.

Published at July 8th, 2008

It seems this summer is just zooming by. I think it’s because how busy I have been with the HerProBlog.COM project. A lot of sweat and tears have been poured into this project. Not to mention, many, many hours.

I am excited to announce that HerProBlog.COM will be launching on July 15th. That’s right! Only seven days from now. It’s exciting but scary at the same time. I have been working on this project for over a year and a half and now it’s almost time for launch. Like I said, exciting but scary.

I have also decided to find a co-author for Time To Budget. The blog is doing really well even though I hardly write on it anymore. I thought that in order for the blog to grow I would need to get more content coming out of it. So I have hired a fellow Financial Peace University student to be a co-author.

My poor iwebis has been neglected to but I think I will be able to get back into a regular blog routine after the launch. Well, maybe not right after launch but soon after.

I have been hanging around social networks a lot lately. I started using hellotxt which has been helping me update my micro blogging sites.

There has been a lot more going on but don’t have time to write about it all today.

Myths and Realities of Mixed Race Identity - Video

Published at June 11th, 2008

I stumbled across this video today and I found it very interesting. NewDemographic published this video on mixed race identity. This video was submitted two years ago but I think its timeless information. Being of mixed race myself (black and white or African American and Caucasian if you would rather) , I can identify with many of the points made in this video.

Looking Forward to Summer

Published at May 27th, 2008

This past weekend was cold and wet and I am ready for warmer weather. It does get warm where I live so I hope it’s a mild summer but I have had enough of this cold weather.
I hope to be able to get out with my horses more this summer. I always tell myself that I am going to do more with them but for whatever reason I never do as much as I would like. So, I guess we will just have to see how things go. I also hope to volunteer at a local horse rescue. I really like this rescue and want to be able to give back this summer.
I just want to make sure I don’t spend all my summer in front of my computer, so this is why I am thinking so much about what to do. I remember one summer I was glued to my computer and it was not fun for me or my family. Balance is an important part of life that I am learning.

My New Work Hours - 6 am - 8 am

Published at May 6th, 2008

About two weeks ago I decided I needed to schedule new work hours. Normally I work throughout the day getting a little bit done at a time. Several causes for unproductive work days were distractions, distractions and more distractions. The only time I would be free of distractions was in my sleep. But since I don’t actually work in my sleep-only dream about working-sleep hours don’t count as work.

I decided I needed to get up before the rest of the family because I can get more work done when the house is quiet and my mind is fresh. The most difficult part of all this is that I have to get up out of bed so early. I don’t like getting up out of bed in the morning but once I am up I love the morning hours.

I have been working on my new site HerProBlog.COM like a crazy women so I really needed to set productive work ours.
