A Mini Break...

Hey there! It's been a while. I didn't go far, but I did take a mini pause. I've found that sometimes the pressure of blogging can become overwhelming. I want to continue to update this blog because I love doing it and because it's my journal of sorts. But, I do want to remain authentic in what I post. I'm a firm believer that your readers can sense when you are just posting to post. I definitely don't want to get into the habit of doing that. So with that being said, please excuse the pause...However I may need to take those every now and then.

Anyhoo, last week I was in serious worker bee mode. My business partner ran a marathon on Saturday (kudos to her), and we had a private A Toast 2 Artistry party the same day, so I was on my own....Boy was that exhausting! But with the help of my son, and my assistant, we got it done! Also, the hubs and I are opening 3 new farmers markets in the next 6 weeks and there is so much to be done prior to the openings. We currently own and operate 1, and have never operated more than 2 at a time, so please pray for us as we journey into what God has lead us to do. We are excited, grateful, and amazed by our blessings. Sometimes we really just can't believe it! I'm so thankful to be able to do the things I love. After working in a corrections facility for 12 years, I never thought I'd finally be doing all the creative things I desired to do. I praise His name daily! Whew...Okay, I had a moment. Lol!

Below are just some random pics of what's been happening. Hope you all have been well. I'll be doing a blog stroll today to catch up with everyone.

We finally got some rain! I was happy...can't you tell?

My demure look...Ha!

Peaceful moments on my porch with coffee :)
