A Moment of Peace

It's hard to believe that Christmas Eve is only a week from tomorrow! Though I've been pretty much done with Christmas shopping since Thanksgiving, I still have plenty to do. The wrapping, more baking, more cooking.....oh yeah and try to squeeze in as many articles as possible before the holidays hit! It's simply never ending and though I've always loved this time of the year I've never had to balance trying to run a business at the same time.

I used to be done with work by a certain date and that was it. Now I need to really push myself to squeeze in a bit of work even when it's family time and writing articles is the last thing I want to do. I love this job, but vacation time is limited. I will likely take a little time to enjoy things but really try to squeeze in some writing here and there. I know it will benefit me in the long run. So that's where we're at!

I have pushed through several projects over the last week and wrote my little heart out. I'm so greatful for the work, and also for the fact that I'm starting to get some repeat work and that's always a wonderful thing. Little by little I'm building up my network and my portfolio. I think of how far I've come in a year since having Faith and I hope to report progress a year from now as I hope that my freelance writing business is that much more successful. I of course hope and pray to be the very best mom possible as that is goal number one!

I hope to report more great news and things to be thankful for by the next writing. Until then, I intend on enjoying a moment of peace while I can!
