An Honest Moment

For some reason I'm having to really force myself to blog lately.  I can't figure out why, but it just isn't something I've felt like doing lately.  I usually blog when I have some pretty pictures to show, and I really haven't been taking many pictures lately.

What I have been doing is: working, making lists, happily crossing things off the lists, thinking about a low-key yet special Thanksgiving and Christmas, knitting scarves for cats, doing mundane chores around the house (when I must), listening to my Joni Mitchell radio station on Pandora, and running to the grocery store.

I think part of me has been content to withdraw from the bright and sometimes noisy foray of the blogosphere.  But another part of me knows that it's important (so the small business books tell me) to network with other people and market yourself by having a steady stream of stimulating and sparkly blog posts.  And still another part of me wants to just be real here and say BLOGGING IS HARD WORK--and I don't think it's cool to force it, because I fear I'll traipse back into the fake voice I've tried so hard to leave behind.

So this post is, I guess...a confession that I'm struggling with my honest blog voice right now, and that I'll check in occasionally to share the sparklies.

And there are A LOT of sparklies coming.  A whole new shop full of them!  And there are pictures of perfect sparkling snow coming too!  Okay...now I'm feeling like sharing these things...I'll be back soon.
