I am sure you have noticed my absence from my blog.  First of all forgive me for not giving any kind of notice.  I decided to take some time and think about the direction of this blog.  I have really enjoyed writing and posting pictures this last year and I have truly enjoyed the learning experience but I felt like it wasn’t serving anyone.

Hence the absence.

I have decided to make several changes!  First of all the theme.  The theme that I currently have is just temporary.  My custom theme caused my blog to go down and the only way to keep it up is to remove that theme.  So I will be in search for a new theme.

Next I have had some major issues with my RSS feed since October. I finally deleted it.  I am going sit down on Saturday and try to resolve it all so that you can subscribe to my feed again!

Lastly, I will not be blogging every day.  I have too many other projects going on and so I want to focus on quality posts not quantity!  So I will not be posting a regular Wordless Wednesday post each week.  But I am really excited about some of the things I plan on sharing with you in the future weeks and months!  This blog was meant to share my (Danielle’s) journey and that is what I want to do.  I want to serve  you by helping you learn from some of my mistakes and triumphs!

My ultimate goal is to help you!  I will do that by sharing what has helped me most along the way!

Come join me,

P.S. If you are just getting started in blogging I would absolutely recommend Kelly McCausey’s  Blog Internship!  This is how I learned the in’s and out’s of the blogging world and how to keep up with my blog!

All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired.

Martin Luther King

This quote is great because whether you call it the Law of Attraction or Faith to me it is the same.  We can receive our greatest desires if we just ask, with faith believing we will receive!!

Computers are necessary, aren’t they?  Okay may be not for everyone.  But for me, yes!  I don’t know what I would do, now that I am blogging, without a computer.  My current computer was purchased in December of 2004.  It is a Dell XPS M140 laptop.  It has been a wonderful computer and if I could suck more life out of it I would.

Let me tell you a little about my computer.

I am missing the F6 button.  I don’t remember how I lost that one.  I am also missing the 5 button.  F6 has never been a problem but the 5 button has been a big problem! I lost my 5 button when I put the computer down, and the scissors I had on my lap (don’t remember why) fell and hit the 5 button and it popped right off!  So now when I want to type the number 5 I have to find a 5 I can copy and paste!  This is one of the reasons I love the form filling software Roboform because I can fill out forms without finding a 5.  My missing 5 button is a pain since I have two fives in my phone number and one in my address!

After four years there is trouble.

I started this blog on Blogger in April and within a week my computer started to act up.  It was a whole big drama!  I thought I had it all solved after I got it back from the computer guy but nope.  The insanity continued when I  lost my external hard drive! Since then it has been working great.  It occasionally gets a bit hot but that can be dealt with, right?! Read more »

Success is not a destination, it’s a journey.

Zig Ziglar

You’ll never plough a field by turning it over in your mind.

Irish Proverb

The first quote is perfect for this blog.  I am not good with journey’s I like destinations and sometimes I forget that there really isn’t a destination.  If you stop at a destination in your life your really end up going backwards. You must keep going forward on your journey.  This doesn’t just apply to business but life and talents!

The second quote is perfect for my life right now.  I started this journey of finding a business  I love about four months  ago.  I have made some progress by posting very often to this blog, completing a blog internship, learning wordpress and how to do affiliate marketing.  But I have a problem!  I tend to think and over think things.  I have plans to expand my business but I have just been thinking about it and not acting!  This quote reminds me that nothing will happen if I don’t ACT!!
