I sent out a newsletter yesterday to my mailing list.\u00a0 It felt good… just a short piece letting people know about Kingston (if they didn’t already know<\/em>), headsup about a small vacation I’m giving to myself for my birthday next week (May 15 – May 22)<\/strong>.\u00a0 Mainly just reminding people I’m still around.\u00a0 You gotta do that every once in a while when you got your own business.\u00a0 Funny how my marketing training kicks in every once in a while….I keep remembering my college professors teaching me about “top of mind awareness”<\/em> and I guess that stuck.<\/p>\n

You know, I’m really looking forward to vacation. It’ll be the first REAL time off I’m giving myself since my honeymoon 2 years ago.\u00a0 Ever since getting married we just simply let life take over.\u00a0 Sure I’ve had “rest time” when I had my surgery and my recent 3 week fight with the flu I didn’t do much work.\u00a0 But is that really vacation?\u00a0 So, I’m going to be a good boss to myself and tell myself to just chill for a bit.<\/p>\n

It’s good timing too…all the craziness I’ve had over the last year is slowly being lifted off my shoulders.\u00a0 I no longer have to be President of my networking chapter & I’ve finished teaching at least for the rest of this year.\u00a0 I had no idea how much these responsibilities were weighing down on me.\u00a0 But now I just feel like I can catch my breath a bit.<\/p>\n

It’s funny how responsibility keeps trying to find me.\u00a0 A couple nights ago I attended my condo’s owner association meeting just because I was curious.\u00a0 Who knows what these old farts in my building end up approving with my maintenance fees huh?\u00a0 Anyway, they were voting for new directors and a few of them were looking my way.\u00a0 You know how in class you try to avoid the teacher’s eyes when he asks for volunteers?\u00a0 Well, that meeting I think I memorized the strands of spider webs in the back corner of the room because I did NOT want to deal with any more responsibilities for a while.<\/p>\n

Hopefully during my vacation time I can recover my health.\u00a0 My mother tells me every health issue I’ve had lately was probably stress. I’m skeptical but I’ll give it a shot.\u00a0 I’ll force myself to relaaax!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
