As you may have noticed, I haven’t been sending emails much lately. So what has happened?

First off, I’m ok physically.

I have been a bit overwhelmed lately with things to do both for clients as well as family and friends, which is my own darn fault. As I consider what is happening, I realize that in my life there tends to be a pattern each year where the summer moving into fall in particular becomes a time with many client business requests as well as other organizations in my life such as church and charitable organizations I am involved with.

I have a tendency to say yes to too many things and then get myself into a situation where I am simply reacting to the loudest voices looking for me to complete their task that I have on my plate. This is a pattern that is unsustainable and unhealthy. It typically results in me finally realizing what I’m doing and then I start weeding out the issues and getting them off my plate so I can focus on the things that are truly important to me.

So, this email list is important to me and I want to get back to a regular schedule, while also making sure I really have time for everything I am committing to and taking the things off my plate that don’t matter to me as much. Lot’s of me saying, “no” to the things I am not able to do right now.

Thanks for your patience and I look forward to bringing more helpful and interesting content to your inbox moving forward!
