An End To An Era

As you can see in the past few months, I’ve slacked on being the funny, witty and endearing blogger you have come to love.

Not to go into great detail about all the black clouds that have been looming in the Baland/Stone household…but it has become very difficult to keep up with certain things and other things are getting left in the dust. Things that are important to me: getting healthy again, claiming the life I want, being accountable for the choices that I have made and will continue to make.

So…I am giving up on Stuff Portrait Friday. I know, many of you have found me through this weekly game. I have, many times, thought of handing it over to someone that would take it and run with it. Shaun said, “That is YOUR thing. You can’t get rid of it! Many of your readers just come to see what Friday has to offer.”
I stuck it out for many months and I’m actually writing this while he sleeps because I know if I talked to him about it, he will talk me out of it.

I adore you all and have been so grateful for you to invite all of us into your homes to share your ‘stuff’. I feel bad that by the time Friday comes around, I am emotionally and physically drained. I don’t have time to go check out everyone’s pictures and read what they are up to. I feel horrible about it too.

My main focus right now is getting better. I actually feel a lot better than I have in the past. Just saying the words, “I am accountable for the actions and results in my life.” has helped me a lot. The sleeping problem is another thing I battle with (Clearly as I am up at nearly 4 am)

The next step is getting back into the work force. It’s been to long since I have been out there and I can’t wait to get back.

Our photography business is going nuts. We are already booking into next year and I want to focus on getting better at the marketing and business side of all of it.

I’m excited about the things I am creating in my life.

SPF is RIP.

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend. For those of you willing to stick it out with me outside of Friday…prepare for the smart, witty and not so stressed out Random and Odd.
