Repeat Offender
I have fallen off the wagon and am failing (yet again) to complete a round because I am so friggin preoccupied with life. In all truth, I am giving every day, but it's exactly that: everyday giving. Nothing special or out of the ordinary or especially conscious. :-( Boooo. I thought of "cheating" and counting stuff I did without thinking, but that defeats the whole purpose, so I admit it. I suck. I am too busy for my own good. However. . . .
Part of why I am busy is because my super secret project is very very close to completion (or release, more accurately), so when I am not at my regular job or with Bill or trying to keep the laundry done, the dishes washed, litter boxes scooped, dog walked, groceries bought, bills paid, blah blah blah. . . . that is what I am doing. Busy, busy, busy. I thought I was ready to take my focus off of my own affairs, but as this project is a means to an end (finding that elusive "balance" I have long talked about), I guess it's okay to call it self-care and keep going. I was feeling like a loser (this is my third failed round, I think!), but as cheesy as it sounds, the last year (interestingly, since I joined 29 Gifts) has been totally transformative and I am learning that if I don't want to be out straight and manic all the time, I just have to choose not to be. And it's good to "go with the flow" sometimes and be kind to yourself.
So I will be kicking around still, but I think I'm gonna have to ride this wave 'til it breaks. :-)
Much love to you all!

Dawn, yes. :-)
Okay, Kimmzie... Here's the text from my "About Us" page:
WICKED New England is the brain child of a New Hampshire native named Erin. A veterinary client services director by trade, she is also an eccentric, creative force with a touch of A.D.D. and an off-beat sense of humor. The day she described herself as a "wicked New England girl," she knew she had stumbled upon a big idea. With much encouragement, guidance and a little nagging from her nearest and dearest, she put her nose to the grindstone. The result is the site you're surfing now.
Erin's vision for WICKED New England is that it will not only sell cool shirts, but also be a bulletin board of sorts for other New England businesses. Future plans include an All Things New England Blog, links to what's going on around here and featured New England businesses, artists or organizations which have inspired particular designs. (Check out the WICKED Buzzed T-shirt, dedicated to the folks brewing cups of sunshine down at The Cafe on the Corner in Dover, NH as an example!) She hopes this easy and free advertising will foster a sense of camaraderie among New Englanders and New England business owners.
So, thanks again for visiting. We hope you'll come again, because there will be much more to see!
Happy Holidays to you and yours, and best wishes for a wicked great 2011!
