I’ve been hearing a bit about blog rush here and there.  Then my husband sent me an invitation to join his blog rush, so I thought I would take a look at it:-) It seems our blogging friend Andrew Jones is implementing it on his highly read and successful blog.  Years ago we first read his blog about his life and faith and that encouraged us to start our blog at the mustard seed. It is an interesting concept so I thought I would experiment with it.  You know me, I love to experiment.  Check it out and experiment away!

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. As a homeschooling mom with three young children who has a home based business I have had a hard time fitting everything in.  It wasn’t until recently, that I finally took the plung and realized that nothing was going to change unless I did something different.  

So I did it.  I set the alarm and starting waking up at 5am.  It is revolutionary what it has done in my life.  Less stress, more space, more time for me. True, I have had to sacrifice sleep, but I have found I don’t really miss it.  It has been so life giving that I actually wrote an article on Tips to Getting Up Early so that I could really own my process.  I hope you find it helpful.

Hi all,

I am testing some new plug ins and different colors etc.  Which do you like better, pink or blue?

I will be back to some serious writing tomorrow. My mind can only think about a few things at a time and this is one whole “new” thing for me.

Do me a favor and try something new today!

Peace to all~

Thanks Amanda!  I am honored that my pondering makes you think.  We will think together and I will pass it on:-)

The July Mama Blogga Group Writing Project has ended with 28 exceptional entries! Feel free to click on the links below to read other bloggers giving their mamas a little sugar.  This was a great process for me.  I suggest you process through this yourself.  You’ve got one life and you don’t want to wait until your mom is gone before you think this through.

Peace ya’ll

Mommy Zabs and MamaBlogga should love this! 

I am experimenting!  If you care about such things as page rank, than read along, and if you don’t then move on:-)
