Wouldn't holding the baby too much make the baby spoiled? At least, that is what I have heard. I personally think there is nothing wrong with holding a baby.
Only if you hold it when it doesn't want to be held. Babies NEED to be held. It's a known fact, children who grow up with too little affection turn out really messed up.
Other people asked questions on various topics, and are still waiting for answer. Would be great if you can take a sec and answer them

Hi Guys,
Just thought I would drop in and say hello. Even though I am not a Mom in school I still read posts to see how everyone is doing.
I taught my first class tonite (business strategy). Most of the course stuff til now has been online. It was fun, although 1/2 way through I was wondering if I would run out of material.
It is much harder being on the other side than it looks.
I am still looking at my options for PhD (not giving up on my dream) but I am luckily getting some teaching work in the meantime. (all contract).
It sounds like everyone is really busy. Take care of yourselves.
|Tue, 05-11-2010 - 11:37pm
It sounds like it went really well! Were you nervous at all?
I hope you keep posting...we miss you.
|Wed, 05-12-2010 - 9:24am
Hi Ann! It's good to hear from you. Congrats on your first class! That must feel good to have the 1st one done now so you know what to expect.

Hi Summoners,
Im a fan of support, however ive noticed support dont get much praise. I wanted to see if a combat support would be a good idea and im open to suggestions. Ive been working on a champion for days and think ive finally got him ready. I mainly wanted a support that could carry if needed. I notice times players that go support become almost useless if theyre carry is bad. So heres an option you can support an ally with defences melee healing or you could go semi tank or full carry. Ill leave the criticing up to you, although im not expecting much. Player created characters dont seem to get supported by riot even with alot of votes, but heres hoping.
Jaiken, The Phantom warrior
Role: Tank, support, carry, melee
Description: Spectral glow look. Youngman with light mail armor. 2 runed blades black blades with violet inscriptions on the blade about the size of a normal katanas.
It was said that even one man following him could take on 500 or more unscathed. As a young man noxus recognized his skill duel-weilding swords. His speed was so terrifying they named him the Phantom warrior, because If you saw his blades you were not soon leaving this realm. He was paired with Riven a noxian commander. The battles they had were swift and easy destroying all that opposed them. He soon became a commander of his own unit much smaller than any other. However it did not matter his skill and speed became so great he could protect any number of soldiers. He looked up to Riven watching as she fearlessly fought battle after battle.
He decided he would join her in any battle. In the extermination of ionia soldiers he became seperated from her. Protecting his men he could do nothing as he watched her and her men get bombed by the Noxus. Many of his friends died in Rivens platoon. He tried desperately to protect Riven, but she was already gone. Fearing his friend and mentor had died, he screamed out in anger .Empowered by anger he ran directly towards the ionian commanders. His men watched as he charged in fearlessly, they screamed out and followed him into battle. They fought destroying several thousand units until just Jaiken stood alone, surrounded by ionians. He made one last charge against the ionian brigade. That was the last anyone had seen of him. The league recognized his skill, giving him another chance to fight.
"Insanity is always an option."-Singed
Basic Statistics:
Damage -> 52 (+3.2 per level)
Health -> 400 (+80 per level)
Mana -> 220 (+50 per level)
Move Speed -> 350
Attack Speed -> 0.69 (+3.35% per level)
Armor -> 14 (+3.5 per level)
Spell Block -> 30 (+1.25 per level)
Health Regen -> 4.5 (+0.75 per level)
Mana Regen ->5 (+7.5 per level)
(Q) Phantom step
Range -> 600
Mana Cost -> 60
Cool-Down -> 16 / 14 / 12 / 10 / 8 seconds
Passive: Each basic attack deals 5% of the damage dealt over 3 seconds
Each Basic attack causes you to lunge at the target dealing 15/ 25/ 35/ 45/ 55(+0.25 AD) additional damage with each basic attack and slows the target 10% over 3 seconds. . Last 3 seconds.
-Based off of chogath except only hits one target for much less damage but also slows them use this move to keep up with faster enemies also all basic attacks apply a very small dot much less than twitch of gangplanks would do at max level.
(W) righteous furocity
Range -> 800
Mana Cost -> 20
Cool-Down -> 10 / 8/ 6 / 4 / 2
Passive: Increase attack damage by 20/ 25/ 30/ 35/ 40
Activation: An ally gains 10/ 20/ 30/ 40/ 50 bonus armor and magic resist. Effected ally are healed 100% more from spectral leech. You cannot be effected by this ability. Last 15 seconds or cancelled if Battle Shout is activated.
-I added a passive to help with attack damage which would help with healing since it may be hard to heal allies early game. I nerfed the armor and magic given. Also i made it effect a single target since its much like sona's but without actual healing i felt this was enough. Use this ability to try and get an enemy to focus you rather than an ally.
(E) Battle Shout
Aura Range -> 600
Mana Cost -> 55
Cool-Down -> 14 / 13 / 12 / 11 / 10 seconds
Activation: Your attack speed is increased by 40%/ 60%/ 80%/ 100%/ 120% for 4 seconds nerby allies gain a half of the amount. Kills reduce cooldowns of Battle shout and righteous furocity by 5/ 6/ 7/ 8/ 9 seconds assist grant half the amount. Cancelled when righteous furocity is activated.
-Much like fiora's ability it grants to same amount without any movement speed and a nerfed cooldown reduction i felt a 4 second durtaion and ally buff would be fine since this is your only way to fight an enemy.
(R) Hero's Vengence
Range-> self
Mana Cost -> 100
Cool-Down -> 120 / 90 / 60 seconds
Passive: You parry an enemy physical hit after attacked 5 times.
Activation: Your passive works every hit on all damage you would take returning 150/ 300/ 450(+0.8ad) to all nerby enemies within 400 range for the next 4 seconds
-Added a longer cooldown. Passive nerfed. Good to use when your being focused.
(Passive) Spectral leech
All nerby allies recover 50% of the health you are healed through lifesteal or regeneration. You gain 2% life steal each basic attack (stacks 5 times).
-No nerf on the passive, lifesteal is necessary to keep allies alive so i increased the amount righteous fury caused allies to be healed when you attack to conpensate for the amount other champs heal allies. At leasts 10% life steal is also necessary for healing minimum level you only heal allies 5 health every attack this borders on the near pointless amount for a support. Although at higher levels it may help around 50 health per hit with no other life steal and only attack damage or only attack speed boost.
Joke: Just you? Your joking right? What.... you're not? (laugh maniaclly)
Taunt: Bring more!
Movement: I guess I'll walk.
Click faster summoner.
Selection: Dont keep me waiting.
Attacking: Stay behind me.
I'll find you.
My friends are with me.
Dance: Shuffle.
Edit: I nerfed some of the base stats, although they were based off of fiora's just already nerfed version. I left the attack speed since teemo's still far exceed's it at max level and Jaiken's attacks speed is his only way to fight, unlike many other champs that use attack speed. I also left his movement speed the same since the lore describes him as fast.
Edit: I nerfed all the abilities and added mana as i can see why no mana may make this person op even though you dont have any protection like riven or garen and have much greater cooldowns.
More criticizing
I see damage/slow+armor/mr+healing+atack speed+CD?whatCD?+Pasive counter jax and vi+give lifesteal to allies+DONT USED MANA=I can we alone the game
Good idea... OP FLATS
Updated much of the character.
Both the active and passive effects on the ultimate seem like a bit too much. The reflect and attack every 3 seconds is far too fast, since Fiora can only parry every few seconds. Also, if the active does what I think it does (deals X damage every attack during the duration), you could literally kill anyone in a 1v1 duel with that on since it would deal a ridiculous amount of damage. Maybe make it about 1/4 of what it is currently at all ranks or less, and maybe it would be stable. It's like a momentary Thornmail that returns over 100% of the damage dealt.
i nerfed the ultimate i didnt mean for it to reflect all damage plus the bonus just the bonus damage
If anything was op riot would balance it out themselves. The main thing is the idea behind the champion and the idea is good.
Also, OP Flats? You must not have been playing LoL for very long. His flats are nowhere near as OP as many of the champions that already exist in the game for example, say, DARIUS.

Guestbook comments from the manager
My family and I stayed at the lodge this summer for around 12 days to see relatives and attend to a wedding.
The lodge is extremely comfortable, private, well equipped and nicely located.
It has a washing machine, and all the usual items needed to stay. There is a pub within walking distance! I enjoyed a walk with my daughter around the farm land behind the lodge. She enjoyed the tree house, gardens, swans, rabbits etc that are on the property.
We had guests come and visit several times, and the lodge was perfect for these get-togethers.
The owners were very accommodating and helpful.
The Billingshurst train station is about 1.5 miles or so away. We took the train to London several times. It leaves every half hour.
Overall, the lodge is well located to visit the north, or the south, and is not very far from Gatwick.
I will visit in the future.

November 27, 2014
LAS VEGAS (AP) - A former physician-owner of a Las Vegas clinic and two former employees pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder charges in the death of a man whose incurable hepatitis C was traced to an outpatient procedure nearly five years ago.
A Clark County District Court spokeswoman says Dipak Desai pleaded not guilty Wednesday in the April 27 death of 77-year-old Rodolfo Meana.
Former clinic nurse-anesthetists Ronald Lakeman and Keith Mathahs also pleaded not guilty.
Judge Stefany Miley says she'll set a trial date Sept. 19.
Meana was one of seven patients who prosecutors allege were infected during clinic outpatient procedures in 2007.
Desai, Lakeman and Mathahs already face trial in October in a separate indictment handed up June 2010 accusing them of felony charges including racketeering and criminal neglect.

i have to take swab test 2 to 3 days and was wonderin if ultram shows up
|Question is Closed

I agree with Jeff that it a unique dual acting drug. Technically it is an opioid. However, it may not show positive for morphine metabolites (all opiate meds break down to morphine) unless the request for testing of tramodol is specified, I believe it will test negative for standard opiates. There is so much controversy about this drug, some states have officially classified it as a controlled substance and the FDA is reviewing it as well. good luck to you chris
I had no idea that it could test positive for morphine! I know that it breaks down in that way, but I apologize for the misleading info. I have a feeling that it totally depends on the type of test, although, it's just a guess. I'm not a doctor or a specialist at drug testing - just a guy who knows that allot of people think that it's not an Opioid, when it is, regardless of it's SNRI structure. Honestly, if Codeine is scheduled, Tramadol should be as well, as it has proven abuse potential, and withdrawals are of the worst due to it's dual effect - immediate SNRI activity, as well as working as an Opioid - hitting on the sensors that make it work. Oh well, good luck to you, and thank you Christine for the clarification!
- Jeff
Hi there Jeff. I'm not sure if it will show positive for opiates. But when you look up Ultracet (acetaminophen/tramadol) it does say that tramadol is a narcotic pain reliever. I know on the Ameritox Lab report, there is a box you can mark next to tramadol. I guess it's like suboxone. There is a space on the report you can check off for that med too. So unless it's specifically requested you be tested for it, it may not show positive for a standard opiate. I think that's how I understood it to be. Take care!

Wii ain't afraid of no ghosts
great possible ideas for Wii games -- and one of those is about to become a reality. Not long after a rumor surfaced of a beloved 80s franchise getting remade in gaming form, Game Informer revealed their December cover today, along with the meat behind that rumor: Ghostbusters is returning! And not in the typical lame, useless fashion we usually see with movie-based games, either; the game, which will be multi-platform, is being written by Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, and Dan Aykroyd as a follow-up to Ghostbusters I and II. They'll also be lending their voices to the production. We can't wait to hear more about this one, but for now, we're just going to hope desperately that some tender lovin' care goes into the Wii version, because it could be awesome with motion controls.

Homeland Security Won't Meet Deadline for Screening All Cargo for Nukes
February 25, 2009 - 2:00 PMHomeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told lawmakers Wednesday that the agency cannot meet its 2012 deadline for screening all cargo coming into the U.S. for radiological and nuclear materials.
At her first hearing before the House Homeland Security Committee, Napolitano said the 2012 deadline set by Congress is not going to work.
"To do 100 percent screening requires agreements with many countries," Napolitano said, echoing a position taken by officials in the Bush administration.
A law passed by Congress in 2007 requires the Homeland Security Department to screen all cargo headed for the United States by 2012. About 11.5 million containers come into the U.S. each year.
Those who support the 100 percent screening policy say that knowing what is inside these containers could prevent a disaster.
Total screening also could significantly slow commerce at busy ports, and at least 27 countries and major industry associations have raised significant concerns with how they would be affected by the law.
Among the major obstacles to meeting the deadline is deploying trained U.S. officials to more than 700 foreign ports to operate scanning equipment.
Napolitano said the agency currently screens almost all cargo containers considered suspicious. She has said she agrees with the concept of catching threats before they reach the United States.
Customs officials compare cargo screening with how a medical technician operates X-ray machinery - a trained eye looking for signs of suspicious contents. There is currently no technology that allows a computer to do all the screening.

I have a question for everyone and I'd love your input but first I have to tell you about Folksy before I ask… I haven't seen this site blogged about yet but I think that Etsy and DaWanda have a new kid on the block to play nice with called Folksy!
Currently in beta, Folksy is a brand new online marketplace for independent arts and crafts based in the UK. Like Etsy and DaWanda, you can set up a shop on Folksy and sell your wares… If you are not based in the UK you cannot sell right now, but they will soon roll out international sales in February 2009 which will include eighteen of the major world currencies currently supported by Paypal. If you haven't heard of Folksy, I invite you to go check it out and see what you think.
About Folksy, "Folksy champions cool crafts and design talent. We marry up designers and crafters with buyers who want individual, quality stuff that's made with love. Plus, we run design competitions and other fun stuff."
About Etsy, "Your place to buy and sell all things handmade."
About DaWanda, "Dawanda – Products With Love" and, "DaWanda is the place for unique and individual products and people. Buy handmade and hard to find goods, share your discoveries with your friends and create your own collections."
Now for the question… What do you think of all of these similar online marketplaces? I'd love to hear your opinion so please… fire away! Do you think it can be compared to blogging — the more the merrier, or is it different? Do you think that having an Etsy, a DaWanda, now a Folksy… that it's just too much? Do you think it benefits the sellers on these sites? If you sell on such sites, why do you choose to sell on them and not just one?
I personally wish someone would start a site like this in Japan but with an English version as well! Wouldn't that be the BEST. THING. EVER?

I'm still feeling the warm glow from yesterday's inspiration that came from Living & More magazine and Birgitta Wolfgang Drejer. I wish so badly that I could share each and every page of this German decorating magazine with you as the photos are just so super stunning and I really enjoy the crafty projects as they are easy and fun to do. I'm off to the craft store today to pick up some doilies to work on a small project that I saw in the magazine, if it comes out well I will post photos tomorrow so you can see it. I think that if you have a magazine in hand that gives you inspiration for days, fuels your imagination, and gets you moving in a forward motion you have found a great resource. Rarely do I feel this way from magazines these days. I was buying each and every issue of home magazines from this country and that country and now I'm not feeling it anymore. I need MORE. Often they still feel so snooty to me, like I'm not part of the club. I need to connect with other readers or the homes that I am seeing and not feel a huge gap between THEM and ME. I don't feel as inspired by rooms I know I'll never be able to live in — I never expect to buy a $15,000 coffee table and I'm totally okay with that. I doubt I'll ever have the Malibu beach house overlooking the Pacific. I think that it's important to be happy with what you have, no matter how humble, and cherish that space you're in. Oftentimes a lifestyle is crammed down our throats that in reality, we really do not want but we think we want it because it's being presented as 'the' way to live.
I want to address something I've found as a negative when it comes to design magazines, shows, even design blogs. Of course, I'm a silver-lined happy cloud (he he) so I have 1,000 positives for every negative meaning that despite my view being a bit of a downer here, I still continue to author a design blog and be part of a community that I love and cherish. I don't plan to depress anyone by saying this… I think in every relationship there is always some negative aspects, even in a marriage or friendship. It's part of life. So I'll just put it out there. Do you ever feel like there is too much going on out there that you'll never catch up? There are soooo many things you see, want, love, are dying to make, dying to do, but often feel overwhelmed by it all? Yeah, me too. I totally do. I was thinking today in the craft store as I was trying to find candles for this project I'm working on that it's important to pause and not run yourself absolutely into a hole trying to get "it all done". I think that we as women can easily turn inspiration into this twisty vine that chokes us called competition. Either with others or with ourselves, as weird as that sounds. I also think that YEARS ago before blogs and great magazines like Domino and Living Etc. I was almost content in my bubble that the way I decorated and the way my parents decorated was just fine — we had little back then to compare our decorating to I guess. Now it's different. The second we finish our living room design we see something in the home of another person even on a blog or in a magazine, on television, wherever and instantly feel like we need to change something. We aren't happy with the hardwood oak floors, now we saw a magazine with high gloss black wood floors and that's ALL WE THINK ABOUT. Of course until we have the black floors and then we see a photo of someone else who did something ultra clever like stencil their floors with a doily pattern or something. See where I'm heading with this? It's called a disease people and we all have it. We want our fix and there are hundreds of publications ready to give it to us. Which brings me to ask you…
How do you personally manage all of the information and ideas that you are exposed to on a daily basis so as to be somewhat productive? I stick diligently to lists and I often do not allow myself to move onto another project without first finishing what I've started. Mother always said that now didn't she? "Finish what you start!" I also work very hard to filter everything I see and decide what exactly I should use and what is not perhaps practical and leave the idea alone. I think mood boards are VERY effective. Whenever I have a project, for instance decorating my apartment or someone else's, I spend months collecting ideas and placing them all into folders and clear plastic sleeves in a binder and over time I start to see a definite pattern and then I know I have tapped into the exact look I need to begin shopping for. That's exactly how I pulled together my current kitchen. I had a mood board, spiral bound notebooks, a very exact vision in my head and despite all the zillions of kitchens I've seen that I've loved since I started collecting inspiration for my own, I did not give in to impulse – I stuck to my guns and now I've pulled together a kitchen that really works for me and my husband and I like how it looks, how I stayed under budget by $4,000, and that in the end it is ME and my vision.
So again I ask… How do you turn what some consider a negative (inspiration overload) into a positive? Any specific things that you do that may help other readers? How do you feel personally about all the rooms and objects galore that saturate the internet these days, do you enjoy having so much access to design around the world or does it sometime make you want to hide your head under the covers because you do not know where to start?

I'm absolutely obsessed with Moroccan teapots right now. I only need one, but it has to be just perfect and Danielle has a lovely one in her shop that I'm awaiting answer on to see if it is still available. I have to have a teapot like this, I just love it. I've been looking for one locally since the day my plane landed, I even scoured Amsterdam and Hamburg for one and nothing! I cannot stop fantasizing about serving tea on Sunday with a pot such as this one… Of course this is one of maybe 10 things I'm going mad about right now (another is finding the perfect pair of deep plum leather boots).
I know, I'm crazy… But I have these obsessions that hit suddenly where I feel this pulse shoot through me and I know I just HAVE TO HAVE the object of my desire and I will peel back every layer, search high and low, shop! shop! shop! until I locate said item. The only difference between these obsessions in my thirties vs. the ones I had in my twenties is that back then I just purchased it and gave in to right away. Now I shop around and try to find the best price and give myself several weeks to mull something over before I realize that I should in fact buy it because it's not another nutty impulse purchase.
It's a sickness, I know. I'm willing to bet you have it to. So tell me, what's your latest obsession/s? It can be anything really, but let's try to definitely keep it in the home, garden, and fashion category so if you are obsessing over something then perhaps another reader knows where you can find it and can help out. It's okay if you want to veer off a little though and post other things that you are obsessing over now.
My current obsessions:
1. Moroccan tea pots and throw rugs (see #4).
2. Colors: Plum, Lilac, Fuchsia, Silver, Black, White, Golden Yellow, Gray (esp. on walls or velvet throws), Soft Green.
3. Textures/fabric: Raw silk, Crochet, Linen, Felt, Wool, Knit, Basket weave, Sisal, Rope, Quilted anything.
4. Motifs/Prints/Etc: Elephants, Circles, Doilies, Batik prints, stripes, lace (used in a very modern way), black ornate birdcages, vintage Persian rugs (flat weave) in all of my favorite colors (something very colorful and loud!). Vintage cabinets painted in high gloss black with white interior shelving, or painted high gloss white with fun ceramic knobs, hand painted accents, and decorative paper inside.
5. Metal: Hammered or embossed tin or silver. Especially pendant lights, tea trays, storage boxes, bowls, and tea pots. Also decorative tea tins…
6. Plum leather boots (no heel).
7. My new lilac/white bowls from TineK (see below photo). At $30 each I only could afford two right now! Ha! I also love my new lilac bowls from Rice (also in photo). I'm mixing these together to work with the white and pale turquoise plates I picked up at IKEA.
8. Jewelry by Arena Copenhagen and the Ellie necklace by Acts of Kindness.
9. Random: Pink chalk love notes on my chalkboard, white matte porcelain from the 1950s, my mom (I miss her), a black puppy named Sulu that I met in the city yesterday, she wouldn't stop nuzzling my trousers like a cat! I wanted to take her home so bad…
10. Style: Ethnic Bohemian Modern. That's what I call it anyway. Others may call it Crazy Lady All Over The Place Style.
There is more… But I'll stop with what first came to mind…
I can't wait to see what you have to say! Comment below with your list if you feel like it, I am interested to see if we share any common loves!

This is Marisa from Creative Thursday and I'm an artist, blogger, and author from LA visiting you today while Holly is away. If you already know me in this internet blogging, podcasting land, then it will come as no surprise that my article today is for the creative dreamers, a subject I am endlessly passionate about.
So you have dreams that you want to see come true? Go for them.
Honestly I don?t think that any one of us can be reminded of that sentiment enough.
If you are a regular reader of Holly?s beautiful blog, then I?m sure you are one of the dreamers, and maybe one of your dreams includes working creatively for yourself? There are always insightful and inspiring discussions going on here in support of the creative dreamers. I was one. In fact I still am. And it?s important to note that I write this as a believer in the idea that you can have what you want in your life. My dream of being creatively self-employed came true. And my intention with this post is to share some thoughts on what has worked for me in allowing that dream to become a reality. It?s about letting go, something I am still learning to practice daily both personally and in my business.
Reaching for something greater than where you presently stand is life giving. Exciting and a little bit scary, it makes you feel ALIVE. Well let me re-phrase that; if you feel hopeful that your dream will happen it is life giving, but if you are afraid it might not, it can be a very unpleasant experience. Believe me, I know all to well that there are days when because it hasn?t happened yet, it can feel more than frustrating, often even devastating. Part of the delicate dance we learn in our life is how to find happiness in the times between the dream and the realization of that dream, a place I will call the space between. Because what you come to realize is that this is where you actually live, every day, in the space between.
Once you come to accept and even embrace the space between one dream and the next, the process of letting go becomes easier. So you might be wondering, why exactly do I want to ?let go? of something? Because when you let go, your dream has a chance to become real. I?m not sure how this happens exactly, but as much as I don?t want to believe it, every time I let go, something that I?ve been wanting comes in, even if it?s simply an answer about what to do next.
Chances are if you?re not letting go, then you are probably afraid, holding on desperately to the idea of what you want. And by doing this your life begins to stagnate, you become tired, you may blame those around you for things not happening faster, you begin to lose hope, you become frustrated. You make important decisions out of a fearful place instead of a hopeful place. Simply put if you?re not letting go on some level, then you are not trusting. And if you?re like me, you may even be trying to control EVERY aspect of your life. Not only that, but your present days become clouded with disappointment of what has not happened for you yet, instead of filled with appreciation for all you do have. And in a separate topic altogether, being in a state of appreciation is a blissful place to be and a sure sign that you?ve let go for a moment.
Not only does ?letting go? allow room for the new dreams to manifest, but it creates this space for you to notice and be grateful for your life just as it is.
And when you appreciate your life just as it is, more space is created for happiness to come in. I think it?s fair to say that most of us are in pursuit of our dreams because we think that by having them, we will be happier. True?! So why not be excited about your next dream and feel happy now. It is also important to note that I?m not referring to ?letting go? of the excitement that your dreams bring you, or letting go of the hope that they will come to fruition. I?m referring to knowing when to release the grip a little, knowing when to step back but doing so in a state of peaceful trust.
Usually there are two ways people let go. One is to give up. Right, you?ve heard that before? The familiar story is ?someone gave up on their dream and then boom! their dream came true". The second is to trust that it will all work out.
I find it very sad to ?give up?. While I have unknowingly taken this approach, I find it incredibly disheartening to just throw in the towel. So recently I?ve tried a new approach, and that is to turn feelings of desperation and fear as to whether ?it? will happen, into feelings of hopeful expectation that ?it? will happen. This slight shift brings about a sense of knowing and calm that I can only hope to experience more often.
When I do glimpse it, this sense of calm allows me to move more graciously in life, to operate from a clear state of mind. Let?s face it. As much as we try to plan out our lives, LIFE still has a life of its own. And even though uncertainty, also known as the space between, can feel a little intimidating, there is still an excitement to not knowing how it will all turn out. What I am coming to know is that when you give into the unknown of it all, when you trust and ?let go?, whatever that means to you, life will flow in the direction it is meant to, and I believe, with your best interest at heart.
Dancing this delicate dance is constant, knowing when to take action and when to step back. When I achieved what felt like my very ?BIG? dream of being creatively self-employed, ~ somewhere just before it took hold, there was a moment where I let go, not so much in the trusting way, but in the giving up way. I literally felt like I had tried everything and I was all tapped out of ideas of what to do next. In my mind I had given it my best shot, and that?s all I knew how to do. Within weeks of this awareness, my business changed forever and has been going strong ever since. I experienced firsthand what happens when I let loose of my grip on my dreams. New doors opened and new inspiration appeared, a momentum took hold and it hasn?t slowed down. Now I have so many ideas at any given moment, that it?s all I can do to stay focused on one at a time.
Now that I?m fully living this dream that felt like years in the making, I am still reminded every day I run my business, of moments where I need to let go. There are always those times where you gear up and put action and effort into the direction you are wanting to go, and the trick is recognizing the subtle difference between those times and the times when you need to let go and trust that you?ll know the next step. These are also the moments when you become a hopeful, appreciative observer of the magic of your life, especially in the space between.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on what I have to say here and hopefully start a discussion so please join in with your thoughts.
Thank you for having me today decor8 readers!
