No, I haven't disappeared!

I have been MIA the past week or so. I was suffering from some major online burn-out.

I needed to take a break from the platform, the community, and clear my mind.

When I started this journey about four months ago, I really hit the ground running and took off. By doing that, I also neglected precious family time, and other things in my life that are extremely important to me like my recovery.

I have taken the past week to reconnect with my loved ones, as well as my friends. Yesterday I co-hosted a fabulous Christmas party for about 60 families and their children. It was AWESOME!

During the party, I couldn't believe how many of those people came up to me to ask how the blog was going and how I got started on it. While taking a break, I actually ended up sharing a bit of my story and how I got started in the online world - and that included WA.

Who knows, maybe it will turn in to a referral or two down the road.

The week also included lots of movie nights, PJ day, tree decorating, house cleaning (and 90 loads of laundry), family meals, crafts with the kids and so much more fun. It was such a lovely time to just unplug (for the most part) and be present for my family.

Anyways, the point of this post is to remind myself and everyone else to be very aware of burn out. It can and does happen and it hit me in the face like a ton of bricks. I think most, if not all of us come here because we want to create something of ourselves, we want to start an online business, and we want to be successful.

In order to do that we need to have balance in our lives. This is something that I clearly still struggle with even though I am a planner. I get so caught up with ideas in my head that I let the other important things suffer.

How do you deal with keeping your live balanced? Share any tips below!

Happy to be back - Happy to be refreshed - and Happy to help if you need it!
