The good, the bad, the ugly and most important: The lessons along the way.hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Bel_Marshall/897824Sorry, I haven't been around, life has been BUSY! I finished up with the cleaning company and am working solely at the store (I do a little of other work on the side for now) and I'm getting a decent number of hours. But, that is not why I have been so busy. We finally set the date!! July 30. I...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Bel_Marshall/896853Here is hoping everyone had a lovely spring day as we did here in Michigan. I celebrated having only a half day at work and weather in the 60's by opening the windows in the house and cleaning like a madwoman. When you clean other peoples houses, yours is the last one to get the meticulous...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Bel_Marshall/896621I will write more in my other blog soon. Thank you all who have taken the time to read and respond. Your kindness means more than I can express. I worked both jobs today, dealt with the aftermath of another snowstorm and honestly, I just wanted to come home and go to bed all day. I knew when I...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Bel_Marshall/896581I decided this is a better way to respond to the comments to my last post that suggest I need to slow down. You will all be happy to know that this morning, I made that decision for myself. I have been working two jobs because I needed a job to bring in a reasonable for the time being, the second...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Bel_Marshall/896541After a crazy week of stress, worry, work and a snow storm, I have two whole days off! This is not something I have seen much of in quite some time. Two jobs and a life that is constantly on the go, leaves little time for me. My reading has turned into my ipod with an audible app on it and...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Bel_Marshall/896366I've been debating for a couple of weeks about coming back and many times decided I just don't have the time to write, yet, lately that is all that I have been wanting to do. It's been a little over a year since I have been here but much has changed in my life. Mimo and I have a home on a land...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Bel_Marshall/843925I seem to be getting further and further behind here. I am in full swing of making some jewelry pieces, holidays are coming up faster than I can bake cookies and make fudge, family has gotten bigger and wedding plans are being made. Because of these things on top of finally deciding I am going to...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Bel_Marshall/842311A dear friend of mine has a tagline on the end of his emails "Only Love Prevails". I've been thinking about this today as I read the comments on my page and the blogs of all of you here. Losing Mom still has me emotionally raw. I loved this woman and I loved her from the moment I met her. When...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Bel_Marshall/842289This morning while talking to Mimo on the phone our conversation went something like this: Me: *cough cough* Him: Baby, I think you are sick. Me: No *sneeze sneeze SNEEZE* I'm not, it's just my sinuses (I have terrible sinus issues) Him: *chuckles* Really? You keep telling yourself that. Yep,...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Bel_Marshall/842258It seems the past few days I have been completely unfocused. I suspect it's the weather, which has been pretty dreary until today but it makes me crazy. I forgot an appointment with a client yesterday. Almost forgot to put grounds in the coffee maker and can't seem to keep myself focused enough...
