A Life Update Post

I work from home, for myself, on my own schedule, and yet I find myself in a hurry every single day. (Thus the reason my posts have been sparse lately.) Why is this happening? What is this fake rush I’m putting on myself all the time? It’s pretty unnecessary.

Here’s a little something about me, if I feel any bit of time constraint when it comes to writing, I can’t do it. I put myself in a mental prison and just stare at my computer wasting minutes upon minutes until I finally just say screw it and move on to something else.

So today, for old time’s sake, I’m just going to ramble my way out of my mental prison and we’ll see what happens. I figure it’s 3 p.m. on a Friday afternoon so chances are not many will show up to read this post anyway. I’m sure you’re all busy getting ready for happy hour, or catching a flight, or dare I say… Nordstrom shopping online. Don’t worry, I’ll won’t shove another Nordstrom sale post down your throat (today!) I may tomorrow. We shall see.

For those of you not encompassed in the blog world, there’s a certain sale going on that seems to make people very excited, or very annoyed. “N SALE” posts are flying all over the place in blogland and there’s a lot of feelings about it. #blogprobs, AM I RIGHT?

Man, blogging’s a weird occupation. It’s ironic to me that for how much I enjoy self deprecation I’ve ended up in a world where I have to constantly be like “Everyone look at me and how great I’m doing life!” You guys get that feeling from me, right? Because that’s what I’m going for here. Pure greatness!

Did you know we’re called “social influencers” now? I’m not ready to embrace that term yet. Give me a few years.

Speaking of years, my past checked up on me today, as it often likes to just to keep me humble and grateful for where I am. Har and I were on an afternoon excursion downtown when I happened to look up and notice I was at the tiny market near where I used to work.

It’s a small corner store that sells diet Sunkist, if you’re a diet Sunkist drinker you know this is a hard beverage to find, so I used to get it quite frequently. Everyday around 2:30 p.m., I’d take a quick ten minute break, hustle to the store, buy my soda, and day dream about being with Harlow and away from the terrible office to which I had to return to for 2.5 more hours while my soul was quietly dying on the inside.

Hiding out in a tiny grocery store, while sipping an orange soda, was my haven back in the day.

God, that sounds awful. And I just remembered why I feel rushed everyday. It’s because I constantly feel the need to hustle to maintain the life where I get to walk Harlow five times a day and not have to ask for permission to take a ten minute break.

More tshirt sales, more promos, more emails, more of everything.

When I daydreamed about working for myself I knew it would be difficult, but I didn’t realize the urgency I’d feel every single day to keep up. It never goes away. And it’s not a bad feeling necessarily; it keeps me on my toes, and keeps me excited to wake up every morning. But it’s always there.


Don’t get too comfortable… Life in a cubicle is waiting for you…Never forget….


It’s a scary thought.  So thanks for listening, but I better get back to work now.

Before I go, I’m going to make a list of posts I plan (hope) to write in the next few days to keep me accountable. If I don’t get more consistent with writing here I’m going to go nuts. If you have a good post idea, please let me know (how do we feel about Q and A’s?) I need some direction right now…

    Yay for rambles! Haha I love it and I'm here for it. You know I work from home like you and I feel that sense of urgency too. Ok so I have a bunch of posts I'd love to see you write bc I think you're hilarious. Do you ever feel addicted to your phone? I'd love to see a post on anything to do with the Olsen twins, hutch rearranging life (the struggle is real for some of us – what to put in the blank space of the built ins!), your take of what it's like to be a part of Taylor swift's squad, what being a dog momager is like, and your thoughts on ganja. Kthxbai 🙂

      THE MIGHTY SPELL CASTER THAT HELPED ME SOLVED MY URGENT CRITICAL RELATIONSHIP PROBLEM.
      I dont know how to really thank Dr. Keke Odin for what he did for me. My Name is Anita Kelly from Los Angeles, i was dating this man who i loved very much for over four years now without any problem in our relationship. so at a point he changed so suddenly after returning from the office and started behaving so strangely. it even got to the extent that he told me it was over and i should never call him again. This was a person that loved me with everything that he had. When i told my friend jenny what happened, she introduced me to a great spell caster called DR KEKE ODIN, the chief priest of all spell caster. At first sight this man told me all my problems that it was his secretary that used a charm on him. Dr KEKE ODIN told me not to worry that he will help me solve the problem. The following day, i was in the house in a sober mood when i first received a message from my boyfriend that he was very sorry and before i dropped the phone, he called me again to say he is on his way home and that he was truly sorry for everything. To my greatest surprise, one week later he engaged me and we got married. All Thanks to KEKE ODIN. You can contact him through the following means

      I made a promise to tell my testimony all over the globe once my man come back to me and my husband came just as Great Mother told me when she helped me. I made the right choice to have contacted Great Mother the great spell caster who is capable of helping you solve your problems. My man left me to suffer and i never believed that he will come back to me again but when i contacted Great Mother she assured me that my man will come again. She gave me some list of items to buy but i could not get them in my country and so i sent her the money and she bought the items and prepared the perfect love spell. My husband ran back to me in 3 days time begging for forgiveness THIS IS SO REAL AND GENUINE. NO SCAMS. I was so surprise that the spell worked just as she told me. This is so amazing and i want you to believe because Great Mother is so real and i urge you contact her now on her email so that she can also help you the way she helped me. Her email is [email protected] and you can also contact her with her phone number on whats app +2348078359876 you can also check and contact her on

      MY EX IS FINALLY BACK TO ME

      I was so depressed when my ex left me for another woman. it made me felt like i was not relevant and my heart and love life was seriously destroyed. i could not concentrate in anything i was doing. i went online and searched for help but could not find any genuine spell caster until i went to Ocala Florida to visit my aunt to ease the depression and loneliness. when i got to Florida, i explained to my aunt who then felt pity for me and told me the secret she have not told anyone about the success in her marriage with her man. she then took me to the temple of powerful Dr. Ugo Wonders whom i met and explained my problems to. he promised to help me because of my aunt. i trusted his words and provided him with the materials needed to help me get my ex back and to my greatest surprise, after 48 hours of casting the spell, my Ex cam back on his knees begging for me to forgive him. i was shocked and surprised at the magic. we are happily married now and everything is working fine with us.I promised Dr. Ugo that i will never keep this a secret because he brought back my life and my world and that i will hare my testimony to the general public.
      My advice goes to any one out there who is emotionally depressed or having any similar relationship problem, to contact Dr. Ugo wonders the ultimate spell caster via his direct email [email protected] or call his temple line on +1 386-336-9876 he is the best in Florida….

    I love your ramble posts – one of the few "big" bloggers that still do them and I LOVE that. Looking forward to the house update post – because I really love to see peoples houses apparently (weird – blame HGTV). Also, I love Q&As so jump on it. Finally, write a post from Harlows perspective when you can't find words for yourself … would love to know what Har is thinking and doing lol 🙂

    I'm here on a Friday night back from a really enjoyable night volunteering at the animal shelter, here reading, and I want you to know I support this post 100%! Keep hustling, but don't forget to center and focus and remember that you are so successful! Thanks for all you're doing for the animals (your IG story). You're a very good person.

    I love this post! You are honest and receptive to your readers.I've recently "discovered" you and your blog – I believe it had something to do with the fact that I live in the town your were raised in and I spend a lot of time on FB! You are smart and funny! I will keep reading if you keep writing — and I have some catching up to do!! Thank you!!

    My ultimate goals in life was to startup a family with a man who permanently wants me always as the only woman in his life, a man that only wants a future with me and his desires to be with and around me to be uncontrollable. A man that will turn a deaf ear to nothing or anyone trying to separate us.
    My goals where achieved 2 years ago; I must confess that our marriage was fine until someone somewhere started interfering, pushing and putting negative thoughts in his head out of envy. As days goes by, the atmosphere around us looked fine and automatically did a complete 360, we went from living together, talking, texting and such all-day every-day to barely anything at all. We separated because of the rumor that I couldn’t bear a child. It was a lie told by someone who envied our peaceful marriage.
    I sought the help of Dr. Wakina via ([email protected]) according to reviews I read online and on radio about his work. I found total justice, redemption and restoration through his love spell after months of broken heart. Our enemies where proven wrong the moment my husband comeback to me. I believe there will also go blind after seeing me pregnant.
    All hail Dr. Wakina for reinstituting my marriage.

    Amazing love spell that work fast. My husband is the love of my life and I’ve always been attracted to him. We’ll be married 17 years this June. Recently I found out he was having an affair with another woman for about a few months. I was devastated. I honestly didn’t think he was capable of that. At first when i confronted him he was sorry and said he still loved me and wanted to work things out. That they were just friends messing around but he’ll stop. I found it strange though that he wouldn’t cut him off even after I asked him to. Eventually I caught him again messaging each other and he basically made up his mind that he’s not happy in our marriage and wants to be with his girlfriend. I was crushed… I hope I’ll get over this. The pain really really sucks like a part of you is lost. It’s the whole “I love you but not in love with you thing”. I’m pretty sure he’s gonna want a divorce soon. We also have 2 kids and it’s tearing them apart:i have been crying all my life hoping my husband could change for good i love and adore my husband coz he mean the whole world to me, i have ask for help from different places but all they do is take my money with out any good result i was so frustrated that i was about to give up on him and fight to accept that he is gone forever. one very good morning i was chatting with a friend of my on facebook there i come across this amazing and wonderful testimony on how a lady got her ex back save her marriage with the help of love spell, generated and cast by Dr happy i was so very happy to see the good work of this spell caster so i directly and urgently email him, do all he ask of me and today by his power i can testify that my husband is back home again with out signing the divorce paper any more he really show me that there is a second chance in life am so very happy to have my husband back if you have any similar problem as my, fine it difficult to get pregnant, get your ex back and fix your broken marriage contact him http://happyspelltemple.webs.com/ for more details email…[email protected] or add him on whats-app +2348133873774
