Home Based Business Mom

Ya know…
I thought blogging would be easy…
I really did.

Lord knows I have diarrhea of the mouth….so how hard could it be to just write down my daily thoughts, vents….ponderings….home based business musings??

It’s hard.
Like a mental hemorrhoidal flare up on the information super highway saddle of life….a bumpy, pot hole filled journey that knocks the living sense out of all those tiny Mitochondria things that help power the cells in your body. The butt of my brain is chaffed.

Or better yet…
Hard like fruitcake….

Yes…THAT hard.

I feel like everything I write has to be moving….pivotal…..cathartic….and plain ole worthy of my reader’s time. But I am sorry….some days….I am just stuck.

I feel like a presidential speech writer locked in a windowless room with only 30 minutes to write a speech that rivals the Gettysburg Address.

OH of course….I KNOW it’s not really like that. It just “feels” that way.

I find the most fun about blogging is reading the comments. It’s amazing that people actually read what you say and then take the time to post their thoughts. Good and bad.

If comments are too mean though….all you have to do is delete that comment. It’s like it never existed….POOF! Boy, do I wish I could do that with some of the things I’ve said in my life…AND some of the things said about me.

Or better yet – how about a delete button for cellulite? Now that would be worth celebrating over with a box of Twinkies! I could write about that every day…
A cellulite free world and delicious mini golden pound cakes with cream filling….

My next mission…..world peace. Twinkies for all mankind! How can anyone stay mad if they are eating a Twinkie?

I think I’m hungry.

Anyway….
Today I’ve given myself a very lovely pep talk. I said, “Kelly….Kelly…Kelly…..you love to write….you love to connect with people. (And you can delete mean people…..the power rush!!) Kelly…dear… You have so much stellar wisdom to offer. You’ve got a mug of coffee on your desk…..the fog outside is starting to lift. Now….let the fog in your mind lift as well. Feel the blog…..be the blog…..”

Yes…my inner voice is a mix of Yoda, my Mother and a relaxation tape.

So….I am ready…
Ready to re-commit to my blog. I vow to write EVERY day! Something thought provoking….and stimulating…I’ll make it over 500 words…..YES – 500 amazing words.
Each word caressed with love and care.

OK…..that sounds like a lot – so maybe every other day? That way I can sharpen my mind with a day of rest inbetween each dazzling, anticipated post. You know I was told, in the book….’7 Habits of Highly Successful People’ – you have to take a break to “sharpen your axe” every now and then.

That makes sense to me!

I MUST keep my axe sharp.

Or better yet….
Super sharp.

How about I post twice a week??
That gives me time to work on my other websites…..do laundry…go to the bank and grocery store….take the dog to the vet….take the kids to school and pick them up – and get them to girl scouts, boy scouts, soccer practice and ballet classes. I could also have time to clean the house and get those toilet bowls sparkling….maybe a pie in the oven…plan and cook nutritious meals, work in my flower garden to keep it looking nice, catch American Idol, read the book I’ve been trying to get through for 2 years….and…

OH screw it….

MY mental axe is heavy….and sharpening it would just be another item on my Mommy-Domestic Goddess-Home Business Woman chore list.

I promise to…
I will…
I hope to….

I’ll do my best…..my very best to post at least once a week…..
You moms that work at home need no explanation.

Now….how about more coffee?!!
No, no…..even better…..coffee AND a Twinkie.

Who will be hit hardest by a recession? The BIG ole honkin companies or the mom at home running her own home business or direct sales business?

I like to think the big companies are the ones that will get hammered. While the stay at home mom, who has been single handedly building relationships with clients, hosting parties and becoming informed on every aspect of her business and products or services will quietly sail through hard times.

Building rapport and REAL relationships is something women are able to do without even trying. We love to communicate, share and help others.

So…are you at home right now thinking….I wish my business were better? I wish I had more clients?

Maybe it’s time to really give it 100%.

Be the one with the recession proof home business.

What are ways to start doing just that?
