Rockin’ The Email Inbox | Cincinnati Baby Photography

I rocked the email inbox today like a superstar.  Yes, my friends, it can be done.

Have you ever felt like you will never, ever be able to conquer the mountain of emails in your inbox?  Yeah, me too.  There were hundreds.  Thousands?  Too many.  Way too many.

I decided that I would go through my inbox and organize, delete, unsubscribe, organize, delete, unsubscribe.  And that I did.

I created folders: follow up, save, to do…you get the picture.  Then I organized the emails, one by one.  And then, guess what?

The heavens opened up.

And then I started running around and dancing.  And singing.  And doing Zumba moves.  And singing some more.

Amazing how a fresh, clean, empty inbox can make a girl feel.  

I challenge you to do the same.  Go ahead.  You’ll be Zumba-ing all over the place, too. 

Happy sigh.

Still Here, Just Quiet | Cincinnati Child + Family Photography

Type.  Delete.  Type, type.  Delete.  Hmmmmm.

Type.  Delete.  Type, type, type.  Delete.

I have sat down so many times to write this post.  I have written and rewritten.

It’s no secret that I am a perfectionist.  When I go after something, I go hard.  I give it my all.

And I’m tired.

I can’t keep up, no matter how I try.

So many things I need to do, so many things undone.

This life that I lead, I love it.  I want it.  It’s a beautiful life.

But I’m tired.

And I have no idea how to get order back.

But I’ll keep trying, keep going, work harder.

To give myself grace.  And the permission to not be perfect.  And I’ll take a break from blogging (or I should say, the pressure of blogging — I love, big love blogging).

Until I find the balance that has been off-kilter for what seems like so long.

I am a child of God.

I am a wife.

I am a Mommy.

I am an artist.

But I am struggling with being all of these things at the same time.

The weight of the silence here is heavy on my shoulders.  So I needed to be vulnerable.  And honest.  And explain the reason for my silence. And let you know that I’m still here, just quiet.

For now.

P.S. I’m still working, still booking clients and expecting for 2012 to be a fabulous year.  Fully expecting, might I add.:)<——- edited to add, no way, no way I am NOT pregnant.  If I gave anyone palpitations, my apologies.  I just meant I am fully expecting a fabulous year:)
