Happy Tuesday guys, it's normally a Monday I write the blog but I'll be honest I just couldn't decide what to say this week. I haven't been on my socials much over the last week or so and one of my friends messaged me yesterday and said "it might be nothing but normally you are so active on Rainbow Bear I just wanted to check you are ok". I find it hard to balance what to share/what not to share through Rainbow Bear...my Dad aways thinks I over share and maybe I do but one good thing about social media is when people share things that maybe you are going through too you don't feel quite so alone.
My moods are up and down at the moment (amongst 1001 other things) l I won't overshare and turn this into a hormonal podcast (definitely not pregnant for anyone thinking ooooh hormones) but I want to be honest and say I find it hard to keep up and stay happy 100% of the time, I have a beautiful family that when I'm feeling it (whatever it is) comes first, they get all my energy and I bury myself with work, the creative side where I get to design and make pretty things and I shy away from instagram etc.
I see so many small biz owners moan about having a small biz and I get it, its hard work but also we are lucky enough to be living our dreams, well doing what we dreamt of doing, its bloody hard with 2 kids, a house to run and myself to look after somewhere in the mix but isn't that the same whatever your situation? working full time, part time or working by being a mummy and trying to keep life in order. So I try not to complain too much and try to keep negativity away from my page, that's why I have stayed off it ha ha!
It's a crap time to be away from it too because there is a lot going on so I think this week I'll try my best to shake the shit off and post, I just think last week no-one wants to see a depressed Friday round up, I know that's not as much fun and good viewing as my normal self!
I'll finish this with a very big positive because this has been FAR too negative, or has it? Isn't it just being real? Oh I Can't decide!
So the positive is, the Small Business Awards I entered months ago announced their finalists for the West Midlands last Friday and I got an email to say that I am one of the finalists in the "Best New Business" category. So watch this space, it is judged by the public and also industry experts...I have to do a video for it. Let's hope I have moved on from this down stage by the time I have to do that ha ha!
Also I don't know how to do emojis on my keyboard so excuse all the ha ha's!
Have a good week everyone, I hope it is kind to you and if you are feeling a bit blue know you are not alone and my DM's are always open...a heart would be here if I could do the emoji keyboard on my Mac.
Off to sports day for my son to watch non-competitive rubbish where there are no winners or losers, come on these are life skills! Apologies to those who don't agree with that!....ha ha
