Been Such a long time

I don't think anyone will read this due to my extremely long absence and sporadic return but here goes anyway. I can't believe we are in September already. I've been meaning to email everyone giving you an overview of what has been going on in my life over the last 2 years but the days just fly by without me getting to it. So here goes. 2010 has sucked big time. I really thought this was going to be my year but it hasn't and it has not gotten any better.

1. Was called in end of July and told I was no longer needed in my job and told I was able to leave immediately.

2. I put my house on the market and the buyer is messing me around.

3. I have no job, no home and now have to find alternate accommodation by 1 November without a means to pay a deposit and the first months rent.

4. I got part-time work but they don't want to pay me what I am worth so money will be very scarce next month.

5. My car is giving me endless problems - it is now very old and tired and I think she just wants someone who can afford the upkeep on a "vintage" model.

6. Emotionally I am much better but still have days when I am sick of people always judging me or making some flippant remark instead of being supportive and encouraging.

7. I have started up a bespoke stationery company and need to find an outlet to sell the cards and hopefully get orders for wedding invitations, general invitations etc but I do have interest from various sources and hoping these turn out and that sales and requests pick up quickly.

That is my year in a nutshell. Hope you understand the absence.

No wonder you haven’t felt like blogging. We've had a shite year too, but are pulling through. Fingers crossed for the orders. You create such beautiful work I’m sure clients will come soon.

Hello! I received your message and wanted you to know I still stop in to see you as well. Sorry to hear what you're year's been. In all actuality mine, while different, hasn't been much better. I understand not wanting to write too. Hard enough to live who really wants to relive it in words and who really wants to hear it? I think the same thing all the time! I do still try to focus on something good because there is always a blessing in the moment sometimes it's just harder to see. It's what gets us through. Tomorrow the sun will rise and us with it so we may as well make the best! XO Here's to a better season and a vision that looks up and outward!

Hi, Goddess. It's been a long time. Sounds as if the "C" has taken up full-time residence at your place. Bummer! I've missed you and will check back in from time to time.
