Today's Words Of Glass

Apparently I've been recharging a little too long.. it's been awhile since I've posted here. Honestly, I've been busy at Will Run For Ice Cream . I decided to take a big step and put my health first. You can read how it all started ( How I'm Going To Overcome Sugar Addiction ) or if you want to just jump to the end and see how it went, you can click here  (day 7) or here  (the journey continues). I'm still trying to find.. I would say balance... but someone ( thanks Pastor G ) told me that rhythm was a better word .... and I have to whole-heartedly agree. I'm trying to find my rhythm with family, exercise, goals and dreams. I have truly loved being home with Lil Man, but I have also felt the increasing pressure to generate some income. And my dream for the longest time has been this blog and social media. I would love to be able to generate some income from what I love which is writing and sharing with others. And I've been spending some time doing...

Now let me say, if you enjoy blogging and never look at stats/numbers/apply for any type of product reviews or sponsored post, then maybe being thin-skinned is fine. But if you ever apply for any sponsored posts or product reviews or generally ( like me ) get sucked into looking at performance, then I've learned that I often need thicker skin than what I have. Rarely does google analytics make me smile. In fact, I've thought of giving up completely when I see just how little traffic can be. But that being said, I enjoy this.. writing.. blogging.. sharing ideas.. my thoughts... so I continue on .. for now... and I'm focusing on the joy of it all instead of numbers. Quite often I allow numbers to dictate my mood... If you read my blog Will Run For Ice Cream then you are aware that I battle

Before anyone gets confused, yes this is the same Amy from Will Run For Ice Cream . I've had two blogs for quite some time now. I tried to combine the two, but I had a hard time because one is more fitness related ( Will Run For Ice Cream ) and this blog Today's Words of Glass is often considered a 'mommy' blog... although I feel that it's more diverse and in the future plan to try to branch out even more from 'mommy blog' status. At some point, the two blogs may intertwine into one, but for now I'm keeping them separate. I know that a lot of you don't care to read about fitness/running and so forth. Just like some people that enjoy the fitness side of what I have to say might not necessarily care to read what happens on this blog. Sooooooooo after that long drawn out explanation, yes I'm the same person that you will see at both blogs. And if you follow me on one, you might enjoy following me on the other as they are different. (Sign u...

Sooooooo... I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. In fact, I've put my blogging here and at my other site Will Run For Ice Cream on the back burner for a bit. Why? Well, because trying to 'work' a blog requires a lot of time. It's not just the writing. It's the promoting! Because, well, if you don't promote, then basically no one sees it. And I had told myself that if no one sees it then why write it. So, I stopped writing for awhile... because...

So, my last post was several months back stating that this blog is still active, but I'm doing the majority of my writing on my blog Will Run For Ice Cream , and as a contributor to Moms Magazine. This is true. However, I feel to re-organize and revamp this blog. If you've noticed, I've changed the title to Today's Words Of Glass. It makes it more coherent with the blog address in addition to my facebook  page . My last name is Glass, and it's a play on words. But there is also a deeper meaning....
