Hardest Tightrope to Walk
The last few weeks have flown by. I have been the star in a one-man circus act that doesn't have a beginning nor an end. My main feat, walking 10 or so tight ropes that are precariously intersecting. I am up 100 feet off the ground, and at the end of each strand, is a family member, a client, or a business. And to give each one attention, I must walk to them. They never meet me halfway.
Last night I finished a task I have been working on since we last spoke. No, my course isn't complete, but all of the print literature, think hand-outs, one-pagers, cheatsheets, and workpages, are finally finished. I haven't yet proofread them, but they are uploaded within each lesson. I poured my heart and soul into each one. I am proud of myself, I am proud of each document, and I spent the morning reading a book as a little reward.
In the next few days I am to sit down and record the audio, visuals, and screen captures to accompany each lesson. The creation of the documents took so much out of me, and I am prepared to squeeze out everything else I have left to finish the course as quickly as possible.
The course creation has proved harder than I originally anticipated. I assume writing and finishing a whole book feels this way, which ironically is my next endeavor. I have so much I want to accomplish. The hardest part is that this accomplishment isn't for me, it is for you.
I am so content with my life. I love the ebb and flow of each day. I am complacent. Have you ever loved your life so much, that you didn't want it to change? Each moment I get to spend with my family, those are the thoughts going through my mind.
But you need this course. So I will continue to create it for you. I am so excited to share it with you.
The purpose of this writing is to give you a little update. It pains me that I cannot fit in every priority I have. I hate that I haven't stuck with my every-other-day podcast episode. I hate that I am still 15 pounds heavier than I wish. I hate that I don't get to write you a blog post each day. I hate that I never finished my 30 freebies in 30 days series. I hate that I took a week off last month to take the kids on vacation. But all of these are necessary sacrifices. Sacrifices for those around me, sacrifices of myself to bring you something that will change your life. I truly believe it will be worth it.
With love, Jo.
