For those of you who have been wondering where I’ve gotten to, the answer is - I’m still here! I burnt myself out a bit slightly, took a step back from the whole IM shebang, and now I’m back.

Burnout why? I, as is my wont to do, tried to do too much too fast, and without a real passion for what I was doing. Recipe for disaster. However, I still have my favourite blog up and running, as well as a few other projects in the works, as well as my newest venture - selling handmade items on Etsy.com and ShopHandmade.com

I started to follow the 30 Day Challenge, and while I learnt a lot from it, the truth is that my heart was not in the process. Sure, my dream is to be self-employed one day, earning a living from my little farm somewhere - but I want to do it in a way that makes me happy, that doesn’t involve slaving away at something just because it might make me money - I want to be doing something that doesn’t feel like work because I love it so much. Maybe that’s naive, but hey, it’s the only life I’ve got, I can only try the best I can!

I plan on re-visiting the material to use it for the things I’m working on, but I have to say I’m ignoring a bit of what is probably good money-making advice from many people when I say - I’m going to follow my passion, and if that leads me to a living online, great! If not, at least I’ll be happy. And I’ll put in a little work on the boring stuff once in a while, too
