Hello Again, Hello.

Where have I been, you ask?

I wish I had a fantastic story to tell, or some amazing adventures to share.

My reason is pretty boring.

Earlier this year, I found myself doing projects for the sake of having something to post on this blog.  Not because I really wanted to do them.  I lost track of why I used to like to be here.  

I just got burnt out.

I was trying to keep up with some of my favorite uber-amazing blogs and always ended up feeling less than.   I’ve decided to stop comparing myself to others, it just never ends well.   I will probably never write the blog that makes tons of money each month, but that’s OK with me.

I’ll still be able to share my creative side with you, exchange ideas, take care of my family, work my part time engineering job and my bamboopink business.   I just won’t be trying to be an overachiever anymore. 

Thanks for sticking with me.  Smile

Wish I had a thinking place, just like this:

 

Happy Fall!
