Channeling my inner Martha(s)

Both my grandmother and my great grandmother were named Martha… And honestly – after the past couple of years I have had I think they are BOTH trying to tell me something.

I got married and then (2) months later I got a side job. What was I thinking??

  • I never got a chance to nest.
  • Or – cook every night for my husband. (Well I don’t know about every night)
  • Or – Organize my life.
  • Before I knew it the weekend came and went – and the laundry was still not done.
  • It was like a swap meet every morning just looking for draws.
  • There was no food in the house.
  • My husband refused to eat Ramen because it didn’t have any meat in it.
  • The cat hated me and blatantly started to choose to live with my parents over me.
  • Which was fine – because I would forget to buy her food.

Ugh.

All for the sake of networking and attempting to build my empire. And skills. And expressive talents.

But how the HELL did I think that I was going to build my empire – with no solid foundation??

Seriously, that’s Architecture 101.

In the past couple of weeks, I have painted a mural in my living room | Made Red Velvet Whoopie Pies from scratch | Made Biscuits from scratch | washed everything that we own | started to plan my garden for this year |

A lot of energy has been re-directed into my space. MY PLACE and it really feels good to be home. + I know that my husband appreciates it.

 

Where are YOU going to direct your energy in 2012?
