Brushing off the cobwebs

This feels like my first day back at school after a looooong summer break. Oh, how I miss the days of stocking up on school supplies. New crayons were my favorite...especially the big "64" box with the sharpener in the back. Think my clients would mind if I signed their contracts in burnt sienna?

But first things first, since I've been fielding amusing questions here and there from some curious "regulars":

- I haven't disappeared into a black hole (well, almost)
- I haven't gone out business (still chugging along quite nicely *knock on wood*)
- I haven't given up on writing (lack of time, not inspiration, was the culprit here)

My unscheduled hiatus was simply the byproduct of an overwhelming amount of work. Something had to give and, again, it was this blog. Oh, and my feeble attempt to maintain my Facebook page. Thankfully, the whole Facebook fiasco was almost over before it began -- a quick death so there wasn't much pain involved. For those that are interested, my page is still up, along with a handful of (old) posts and photos. Maybe one day I'll pump some new life into it. Maybe not.

But now that I'm committed to carving out some time for myself each day, I'm anxious to return to the things that I love. Truthfully, I've been T E R R I B L E at maintaining balance in my life but I realize that stressing out about this or that 24 hours a day is really a disservice to myself, my family, my friends, and my clients.

So, I'm back. And it feels great.
