The Computer-I am experiencing some severe problems with my MACBook Air so I have sent it to the shop and am hoping that they will be able to fix it. These problems have been going on for awhile and now have become so bad I’m unable to type a single sentence without things being deleted, words being moved around, or images being lifted off the page and moved all around my screen. Now, when I open tabs nothing comes up. And, the battery dies super quickly. The 5 year old who made my computer was not up for the task. Note sarcasm…. Yes, I’m really pissed.
Blog Changes for Summer-Starting in June I will post twice a week on Mondays and Wednesdays. I currently post three days a week but in keeping with the extreme self-care that I am trying to practice I would like to free up more time in my week. I actually have a pretty easy time coming up with posts and I may still occasionally post three times a week but, I just want to ease up on myself as I amp up my side business hustle.
$5640 Project-A complete bust…and that’s ok. I was completely unrealistic about the amount of time I would need to manage this project and my life! Happily I have been approved for quite a bit of vacation time so as soon as I get my computer back IT’s ON!
Weight Loss-I don’t know if I’ve lost any weight yet. But, I am still eating well and exercising every day. Unfortunately, I have to do the all or nothing approach. I’ve actually stopped shopping again until I lose a certain amount of weight and inches. So, it will be awhile be awhile before I buy something new.
Blog Commenting-I love, love, love reading and commenting on all of the wondeful blogs that I have the pleasure in reading. Some of my comments can be quite long and involved because your posts give me a lot to think about. That being said, for the next three weeks I might not be commenting because of two reasons: I don’t have my computer and I’m taking a 3 week break from blogging. So, you may find comments from me in June on posts you wrote in May. Just giving you a head’s up!
Blogging Break-I’m taking a 3 week break from blogging. I won’t be commenting, reading, or writing any posts. It’s a great time for me to do this for three reasons: my computer is getting fixed, summer is about to start. AND, I will be going to San Diego for a conference at the end of May. I will be too busy to blog so it’s perfect timing. I have been writing, commenting, staff writing, and guest posting non-stop since FinCon12 in Denver. In general I want to rest and reenergize. My next new post after this one will go live on Monday, June 9, 2014.
Dating-Things are starting to happen. I will continue to do things outside of my house with new people. I’m finally enjoying the process and will keep you posted 🙂
Money-I will be working very hard this summer on my side business. I have finally really understood my “why” I want to be self-employed. It’s not just about the flexibility. I want to do meaningful work for a small group of people and serve them well. I want to provide excellent service to help other people succeed at what they are trying to do as well. I want to nurture business relationships over time and grow professionally and personally with the businesses I work with. I also want to push myself to make more money than I currently do now so that I’m able to get out of debt, spoil my mom, travel, and help others. That’s very different than-I would like a more flexible schedule. Flexibility wasn’t enough of a “why” to begin moving towards something different.
That’s all she wrote! I’ll be back on June 9, 2014

Have a nice blogging break!! Taking a break can really do some good. Every time I take a week or so off from posting on my own blog I come back with a new energy. Enjoy yourself!
Thanks Alexa! I’m really looking forward to it. I just need some time to relax and get my head back into the game.
Have a good blogging break, Michelle! Sounds like perfect timing, all things considered. Enjoy!
Thanks! I just need to take a break. I really love blogging and want to make sure that I continue writing fresh, engaging and interesting content both for myself and my readers. I’ll be back on Monday, June 9, 2014.
Enjoy your break, Michelle!
Thanks Lisa!
Enjoy your break! It’s great that you are taking the time to get things in order. BTW, It’s good to see an Apple owner not act like it’s God’s gift to the world, but I do hope you get it back soon in great condition.
I am so excited to take a break! I am an equal opportunity product person. I bought that computer with the thought in mind that it would last for about 7 years and be pretty functional. I’m actually very unhappy with the experieince. But, I have an excellent warranty so I will send it in until it’s fixed BWAHAHA!!
Yeah Michelle take a break, too much is not good !! back soon if you already have a good condition, get all the takes you good luck !:)
Thanks!
We’ll miss you, girl! 🙂 Rest up, and get back to business. I know you can do it. It’s all a process.
Thanks chica, needed a break. Computer is fixed-3 things were wrong with it!
