I find great peace in reading this counsel. I hope it blesses you as well. <br />http://lds.org/general-conference/2010/10/of-things-that-matter-most?lang=eng&query=slow+downKathryn Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14471821971026188349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252377263602187066.post-79848988462185137112011-02-07T11:05:05.348-06:002011-02-07T11:05:05.348-06:00Hi Melanie, I found you through CAST, and I am mov...Hi Melanie, I found you through CAST, and I am moved to comment because of similarities. I've been writing on my blog for a few years but much less this past year due to family issues, and due to starting my etsy shop one year ago, and trying to find the balance the Lord wants me to have. Thanks for sharing, you are not alone!Sherri Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02370897359440297281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252377263602187066.post-37725983978611944672010-09-14T11:20:30.298-05:002010-09-14T11:20:30.298-05:00Thanks for sharing Melanie.

You kinda sound like me, I have realized this summer especially that I don't have to do a blog post every day, I put that pressure on myself in the beginning. And I've found there's no point in that. If I have something to say I can blog it but if not it's okay to leave it blank! <br /><br />Thanks for explaining CAST, I saw your post above this one and wondered what that meant!<br /><br />have a good week,<br />Bethanybphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884081028227999883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252377263602187066.post-49113787594734214032010-09-10T10:55:19.414-05:002010-09-10T10:55:19.414-05:00Aww, BALANCE that word we all need to embrace more...Aww, BALANCE that word we all need to embrace more dear friend.<br /><br />I'm praying with and for you and I'm blessed to visit with you today to say, I love you and I'm praying for you.LisaShawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01847564334928464883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252377263602187066.post-44695897053263383992010-09-09T11:03:39.801-05:002010-09-09T11:03:39.801-05:00I too have been posting off and on.

I was consumed... this past year I am learning the meaning of "moderation"...

However, other duties have taken over.<br /><br />It's been a very difficult summer for our family. Thankfully, my brother seems to be improving.<br /><br />Praying for you, friend, as you seek God's will for balance in your family...HIS family!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BethBeth E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04996230415386423039noreply@blogger.com
