Reflections and a New {hopefully sticking} Focus

So every few months I get all kinds of bloggin' crazy. I'm going along nicely, blogging my little heart out, then BOOM! I give in to insane amounts of {self-induced} pressure and I disappear. It's my own fault, yall. I love reading blogs, seriously love it, and I admire so many women who write these blogs. Admire them, as in...dang, she is uber talented! Or dang, that girl's got it all together. Or man, I only wish I could parent/craft/homeschool/worship/write/clean/look/cook/decorate/etc. as good as her. It's pathetic but I'll be darned if I don't fall prey to it every time.

So, here's my new focus: I'm vowing to be the best ME that I can possibly be. I want to live with intention. No more of this wishing I could be something--or someONE--else. And this "living with intention" will include blogging. As I have time. As I see fit. For me. And I will *not* compare myself to all you awesome ladies out there. I'll try not to, anyway! ;)

The best ME includes living for Jesus, loving on my husband and kids, keeping my home, making nourishing meals/choices for my family, crafts!!!, reading books, homeschooling, working on my photography, making friends, and figuring out a less disgusting way of cleaning out the litter box!!!

Here's to 2011! It's going to be a GREAT year!

And now for a picture, cause you know you can't post without one ;)
