business, books, and time

hello my blog readers… Im settling down to do something I hope to do frequently and that is blogging about whatever is on my mind… My desire is to blog about every other day or so whether i have images to show or not. Im not gonna lie its going to be very hard for me to do! so if any of you would like to keep me accountable to this- that would be fabulous! just shoot me an email and say ‘meegan- you haven’t blogged in a couple of days-DO IT!’ I would really appreciate it… and while your at it give me something to blog about;)i have a hard time thinking you would be interested in my life as a stay at home mom and business owner!

At the end of 2009 I was striving hard to make 2010 be a year of control, freedom and passion to name a few… Im finally starting to feel that it is becoming a reality. Im slowly finding myself to be caught up on 2009 and able to think clearly without 1000 things on my to do list… its still long but much more manageable. Many of you might be wondering about all the new changes I have made with the new website, new blog (still in the design process at the moment), pricing and products that have taken place- a lot of it has to do with taking back my life and trying to keep it from spinning out of control…. Last yr I had a hard time saying no to sessions and I got really worn down- Photography has always been my passion and I want it to stay that way so my desire is to intentionally be less busy- Another reason is because I want to give each client the best of me- and thats really hard to do when im being pulled more places than i can handle.  I have to admit I let my business become more important than my family and my relationship with Christ.. I was ‘too busy’ to spend time in the Word and in prayer… ‘too busy’ to cook for my family, clean house and just live life with them. and i finally had to come to the place where i could acknowledge that thats not the life God desires of me. so…. as scary as it is I have made changes… and I pray that God will give me the grace to stick with it.

with the being less busy and the desire to let you deeper into my life I am writing this post trying hard to pretend im looking at your face in front of me… writing is not my God given talent in fact I suck at it! to think as a little girl (6 yrs old or so) wanting to be a writer? haha no way! but I do need to improve a little if i want you to keep reading i suppose! =)

Tonight the house is dark and quiet- kid in bed since 7, hubby at the station, and father-n-law sleeping in the living room.. I was thinking more about wanting to blog more often and for once stay up late reading as opposed to working… I went to my bookcase to find a book I should read consistently but haven’t looked at it in a couple of yrs-  Love & Respect by Emmerson Eggerichs is a relationship changing book! Its a must read for couples! I went to pull it off the shelf and caught a glimpse of all the dust and these books i intended on reading once and then never got around to it… Im not sure I will ever get to all of them but I would like to actually dust the bookcase and see what all I can find and make time for.

Thanks to everyone that actually read this far – your my new best friend! =) Please feel free to shoot me an email and let me know if there is something you would like to know about me or anything at all!  till next time- be blessed!

Hey that was a great blog. Very interesting. When u did mine and gages pictures u never acted as if u were overwhelmed. U r great at what u do. God has given u a talent, but what is that talent worth if u stay locked away and never spend anytime w ur family. Ur business is up and running and doin great, don’t miss out on ur family. Ur family is the most important thing in ur life. They r ur biggest supporters. Ur kid is only little once don’t miss out on him growin up. With all that said, it sounds like in ur blog u r headed in the right direction to start this year out perfect. Just keep up the awesome work and everything will happen as it should. Good luck this year in everything.

Keith and Gage. :)

Meegan,
I really enjoyed your post, you’re a much better writer than you give yourself credit for. I admire your goal to spend more time in the Word and with your family! You’re an inspiration to me! Thanks for sharing!!!
