a lost voice

based on my number of posts last year, I lost my voice in 2013. 

I wonder if you've ever felt like me? I found myself getting lost in the lives of my favorite bloggers and not my own. I found myself wanting to have the perfect post instead of a honest sharing of my heart. I found myself creating just so I could share it in this space. then I found myself disliking more about blogging than I liked. so I made a decision to take a pause. that pause turned into a stop. 

unfortunately when the words stopped flowing on my blog, my creative juices stop flowing as well. It wasn't until November that I started knitting and finishing...anything.

one of my 2014 goals is to rekindle my love of creating, writing, and connecting in this space and in yours. I invite you to travel along with me this year. welcome back.

For unto us a child is born,

unto us a son is given;

and the government

shall be upon his shoulder:

and his name shall be called

Wonderful, Counsellor,

The mighty God,

The everlasting Father,

The Prince of Peace.

-Isaiah 9:6

part of cultivating a good life is...

looking procrastination

in the face and saying

"enough is enough."

DO IT.

productivity.

the goal is to find a task,

a really important good task,

that requires your full attention

and follow that task to completion!

don't get caught up in multi-tasking

or the 'smoke and mirrors' of busy.
