Huh.
The last words of the post I made this morning have been haunting me all day. “Remove one thing from your holiday to-do list.”
You know, I’m going to follow my own freakin’ advice for once. And the thing I’m removing is this week’s podcast.
It was going to be a really fun show about the history of Christmas ornaments, but I gotta say: it’s Thursday afternoon, and the thing isn’t even half written yet. Not to mention, I’m in the midst of a giant contract podcasting job right now, so I’m already spending many hours a day editing sound. Throw in a packed weekend, and you have a recipe for No Way, Baby.
Besides, it’s not likely that any of you have time to listen to it this week, anyways!
So, I’ll see you on 12/28, for the last show of the year. Which is going to absolutely rock, if I do say so myself. Thanks for understanding.
(Photo, by the way, is one of my mom’s many gorgeous Christmas displays. Just for fun.)
Good for you! Hitting “pause”, stepping back and reevaluating what is realistically doable (while maintaining sanity) is just about the best gift you can ever give yourself. And the fact that you proclaim it here (publicly) gives everyone else that opportunity to say, “well, yeah …. if she can remove one thing … ” The world would be a much better place if we all removed one (or two … or three) thing from our lists ….

Okay, if you are going to skip the podcast (which I totally understand), don’t tempt us with what would have been! Instead tell us how deathly boring it was going to be. ;)
xooxx

It’s awesome when a person cares for themselves just the way they instruct others to care for themselves. So often we are so much nicer to other people. Good for you! :)

I’ll second that “good for you!” Sister Diane! We all need a break sometimes and it’s the holidays for goodness sake! Thank you so much for all that you do and share on your wonderful podcast and blog. I’m still fairly new so I have LOTS of catching up to do ; it’s such a treat and every time I come to your page I’m amazed at how much there is to hear and look at and…craft! You do SO much!
I know I’m not the only one that would like to wish you a very Happy Christmas. ;) Hope your holidays are relaxing and inspiring.

You do so much! I can’t believe you can get it all done — you’re iron-woman in my book! I grant you your pass on the podcast and I hope you enjoy it! :)

Of course you’ll be missed but I’m so glad you’re cutting yourself a little slack – always so hard to do for yourself :)
