Don't Tell Me What to Do!
Friday, 28 March 2008

Ahhhhh. Always listen to your elders. I love my domain elders. They are wise, have experience and have taught me many things. I soak their advice like a sponge and apply a lot to what I do in domains. I have learned many perspectives, strategies and lessons had it not been for them.

However, during the past year I seem to have forgot to go with my own intuitions and think outside the box. I've neglected my own sites and the direction I wanted to take them.

A DNJournal article from five years ago inspired these thoughts:

"In fact, AL-Ghanim believes the real beauty of the domain industry is that the barrier to entry is so low. Those with good ideas can succeed, regardless of their resources. He advises people entering the business to “do what you like and you will be successful. The playing field is wide open to the newcomer. There are no limits, even for those with limited budgets”. That should be music to everyone’s ears."

Thank you, Elequa!

Honeymoon's Over. The Bride is Ugly.
Wednesday, 19 March 2008

It's been about two weeks since we moved in and a week since I've had an internet connection. I thought once we had a home and established some sort of routine, our lives would be back to normal. The honeymoon phase of newness has worn off and divorced me today as I faced a reality I didn't want to.

I jump out of my skin when I hear a low rumble. I have to calm myself every time there's a little rain. Little things like spiders no longer scare me but I now fear stupid little things such as too much weather information. I'm sad because I think about  personal momentos or sentimental values then have to remember that I don't have them anymore. Sometimes I scroll down too much on my blog only to find my tornado pictures that I can't seem to scroll by without staring and squinting to see what I can find through the digital rubble. I try to remind myself that my family is alive: it's all that matters. But I can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of loss and the same flight response my body felt on that day. 

Work is another issue. I have over a month and a half to catch up on in addition to the projects I had going on in February. I had to do today what I never thought I would do in my career: let a few clients go. I enjoy being a freelancer but not at the expense of others. 

The point of this post is: Please be patience with me. There is a lot of trauma I didn't realize was there and a lot of client work I grossly underestimated. Please don't feel that I'm "snubbing" you.

People have been really amazing to me and I thank you all.

Thank You To All
Thursday, 13 March 2008
There are too many people to thank individually who have helped me and my family this past month and a half. I am now back on my feet and working again. Thank you for your donations. It has helped us a lot during the time while waiting on FEMA to help us. Thanks to your donations which added up with others: we were able to get into a home and get the basics we needed to get back on our feet. Thank you once again!
