Focus, Focus: A Head Full of Words and Ideas

Thoughts Tumbling Out

Sometimes my 3 year-old has trouble getting his words out. It's not that he doesn't know what he wants to say; he does. It's that he has so much to say that the words all tumble together and get stuck trying to get out. It's frustrating to him, but with patience {on our part} and focus {on his part} he can communicate his usually complex, thoughtful, interesting words. My 5 year-old went through this same thing.

When you have a lot of observations, creative ideas and long-pondered questions about the world running around in your head it's hard not to lose focus and stumble and wobble a bit. I understand this. I'm feeling like this right now.

Irons in the Fire

I have a number of irons in the fire, so to speak. I tend to do this. I always have. But I thrive on new, fresh activity. I find inspiration in a crammed calendar, back-to-back coffee dates and the need to be resourceful all the while working on about 6 new ideas.

The trouble comes when I try to make all fronts productive simultaneously. It's hard to keep a clear focus on all projects at one time. When I'm going 8 directions something is going to suffer. Right now, it seems it's my baby, Motherly Law.

No worries though. I still have many ideas for this almost 2 year-old venture, but it has been taking a backseat to my brand new baby, Norwex and the blog that goes along with that, State of Clean. I'm really proud of that venture too. {Unabashed Self-Promotion: Same great writing at State of Clean; if I do say so, myself. So, please check that site out too.}

The Scoop

As you know with a new baby, attention must be focused on the baby's schedule and core development. So, Motherly Law has been left to its own devices a bit. I still posting, just not as often as I'd like. However, in just over a month, it'll be time to celebrate Motherly Law's birthday and the focus will be back here.

And the other irons in the fire? Well, you'll have to stay tuned, but I will tell you there are a couple of other blogs I would really like to create and I'm working on 2 books. So, you can see how the words and ideas sometimes get clogged together and make me lose focus on certain projects, but I'm still here; and I still love Motherly Law; it's where I share my heart and soul. I hope you'll have patience with me and that you still love Motherly Law too.

What inspiring activities/ventures are you up to in 2012? Have you got a bunch of irons in the fire too? Over and out...

Thanks, Diane. Of course, it's not a real baby, but my fledgling new venture; selling Norwex. I'm selling these products so that I can have enough income to continue to pursue my passions.

Thanks for reading!
