Focus On You: The Full Time Stay at Home Dog Mom

I started blogging in 2003, if I remember. I was learning about and getting into social media back in 2009.. maybe 2008… and was helping clients navigate the online world in 2009. As I learned about it, I was teaching a client or handling the task myself on their behalf.

Self-actualization is at the top of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. And I think the reach for that goal is present in every level under it.

I’m of the opinion or belief, back up, I feel, by evidence, that as a creative and expressive species, we have an inherent need to… create… and express.

And when we do not, we are depressed and unhappy. And we often blame something outside ourselves for that unhappiness. Often it is our job.

I think we, human beings, are incredibly creative and expressive. And I think so much of the unhappiness we see in our fellow man can be ascribed to living a much smaller life than they can or deserve.

While I’m not much on New Years resolutions for myself, it is a great time of year to think back over the year that ended and take stock of what you’ve accomplished. What goals were achieved? What goals are now on the New Years list?

There is plenty for all. Life is a never-ending buffet. So what if one person takes 6 plates of the Mac and cheese in one trip. There is still plenty of Mac and cheese for you. Relax. Eat your salad and breadstick.

Have you thought about any projects that you have put on the back burner for a long time… or it’s on the front burner and you keep stirring the pot and wondering if you should add any ingredients?

We are mid-December in 2019. This is about where I was last year when I decided I had wasted enough time thinking about and analyzing my podcast goal. 4 years and I still hadn’t produced anything.

When thinking about the podcasts I listen to, I’ve often gone back and listened to the earlier episodes. And the most useful ones were where the content was not something timely.

If a person does not control their own pyramid, their own hierarchy, they cannot move on. What could be worse is that I think a person cannot even recognize there is something beyond the level they are at.
