We spent Saturday at a raucous family gathering. To be honest, I’m still not feeling well and wanted to stay home and catch up on administrative tasks. About 15 minutes into the gathering, I realized how happy I was to be there. I didn’t think about my email once, nor did I worry about unmoderated comments or if advertisers were trying to contact me. I think every now and then I need reality check to remind me that while this business is important, there are other things in life. Glad I took time to enjoy good company and conversation this weekend. Hope yours was enjoyable as well.

Taking my son to the doctor. Leads will be a little late again today. Thank you so much your patience.

- Deb

We made it to the middle of the week! I hope you’re still tackling everything with a positive outlook. I took some grounup steps this week and FWJ is officially a small business. I think the key is to treat your blogging and writing like a business and not a hobby, and you’ll yield great results.

So sorry leads are so late lately. For those who have asked, I’m doing more than grabbing leads off other bloggers’ lists to add to my own. I spend two to three hours each morning combing all the job boards for the best leads. Some days takes longer than others. I appreciate your patience. I may go back to starting these at night so they’re posted a little earlier.

7 year old with a stomach virus today – sorry so late.

It’s a new day and a new month, a true clean slate Monday. How will you make a positive start?

I’m going to make a positive start by being mindful of the things I say both online and off, and not letting my anger make me say or do things I’ll regret later. I’m going to continue to make what I feel are the best choices for FWJ and this community and stand by those choices, regardless of what others say, even if it means there are only ten of you visiting here each day. I will also not jump to conclusions about any one or anything as I feel there’s already enough of that going around. I’m going to remain positive and upbeat.
