Your time away has been very fruitful - enjoy putting your plans into action :-) And I don't think you'll loose any blog friends by taking a breather every now and again!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00815741923418492777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017288345711987555.post-8962357612830826462017-09-09T04:08:01.416-04:002017-09-09T04:08:01.416-04:00Good on you for taking control, I hope it means th...Good on you for taking control, I hope it means that you get to enjoy what you're doing even more. I'm excited that you're thinking about online classes because that would give me a chance to take a class with you.

I especially struggle with finding a balance with participating in swaps/challenges because I love the sense of community that it brings me, but I also want to have time to work on other projects. Going to work really gets in the way! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00765289493434856103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017288345711987555.post-76272119885282172462017-09-06T14:05:30.045-04:002017-09-06T14:05:30.045-04:00It's great to get away, reflect on what's ...It's great to get away, reflect on what's important to you, and then simplify.

Also just writing or doing what makes you happiest. tisha @ quiltytherapyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01591639448606412168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017288345711987555.post-12545826053121536292017-09-06T08:45:15.922-04:002017-09-06T08:45:15.922-04:00My life is stretched way too thin at the moment as...My life is stretched way too thin at the moment as well so I hear what you are saying.

I was like you always on the go expected to be everything to everybody. It took a car accident to change me from a A+ persoality to a B. I had no broken bones but was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia due to the accident. God made sure I was not going back to my old ways. :) . I hope you resist temptation to go back.It is hard to change a lifestyle years in the making. More power to you! I will always be around if you need to vent. Good Luck!!!

I'm so excited about the handwork and other projects you were able to start, and of course I'm super eager to hear more about the book and other projects I know you can't share just yet. Learning the art of balance and how to say not right now or no to an opportunity always seems like such a hard lesson, but from my perspective you seem to be managing things gracefully and I'll certainly be here for you (via IG and your newsletter and email and FB and OMG basically stalking you)!Yvonne from Quilting Jetgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705160384198590025noreply@blogger.com
