Balancing act

I'm doing that fun juggling act of balance the kid's stuff, my doula business , our family stuff, and keeping up with the day to day chores that we must do to keep any kind of foundation under our feet. Last week I spent a good portion of my days cleaning the house. Both in the sense of cleaning out dirt, and cleaning out chaos energy that seems to be building up. It seems to have worked out pretty well. Things are humming along in new and interesting ways around here.

Gabe and Karl are working on scouting stuff. The first Pack meeting was last weekend, and I'm hoping Karl will get on figuring out a meeting place here really soon. He offered to be leader now he needs to step out of his comfort level and lead! The first parent meeting for the school is tonight. I hope I don't forget by tonight! The dad group is on Friday. Cyan is taking a dance class this fall, and it starting to think about actually going out with the other kids. I won't pressure her though. Children with anxiety do not do well with being told to just do it.

My workshop was well written, and ready to go. No one showed though! I was scheduled for the end of the day, and people were pretty much gone by then. I think I need to do some things differently with it. I would make an excellent web page though, so I think that is what I will do with it. Nothing is ever lost right? I'm of course working on my education, but I am also going to begin working harder on marketing. Making sure I schedule into my day is going to be key. I know my stuff. I just need to work on getting clients to be able to find me!


We spent a good portion of this weekend at ArtPrize. It's such a fantastic time. We still didn't even get near seeing everything, and we were out there all day on Saturday and half of yesterday. I guess we'll just have to go back!
