Summary of Thoughts

I can't believe it's been about five months since I posted last. Summer was nice to be with the kids, but it was hard too. I'm glad Ez is back in school. Makes the days less intense with the two kids not constantly going at it!

I'm really not sure what I am going to post about. Maybe it's more of a summary of the last few months. Who is interested? Who knows. Maybe no body but it's more of an assignment for me in order to process through to where my mind is today.

I survived another year without my father. Nine years, September 11th. It seems crazy that I can miss him so much even after all this time...

I have been feeling a sort of softening of my mind lately. Not a squishy thoughtless softening, but a path of less resistance. I still struggle with getting hooked into the battles of the ego but it feels easier to realize what is happening and then to let it go. For some reason, lately, when I see other's suffering and struggles, it has made me realize how fortunate my life is and that it doesn't have to be as hard as I make it out to be sometimes. Hopefully my heart will follow and it too will begin to soften. I would love to physically feel love bursting forth from body, moment to moment.

Is it bliss I want? I have had those moments of bliss, but they are temporary and I feel like I spend every day trying to get back there!

Redesign Complete!

Finally! I have finished the redesign of my online portfolio/freelance site. Thanks to the husband for his critique and copy editing.

Almost Done?

I think I am almost finished with redesigning my website. All I need is for my writer-husband to read through it to make sure all of the copy is typo free and grammatically correct! So far I am keeping within my timeline for launch this weekend!

Logos

I am currently working on designing a couple of logo examples for my new site. My goal is to have the new site up this weekend. **fingers crossed!!! **

Bodhileaf Design Redesign

Since the two years that I originally launched Bodhileaf Design it has become painfully outdated. It originally started as a general online portfolio. Even though I have years of experience, I have not been very smart in keeping pieces of my work for show or they have not been portfolio pieces.

What's happened most recently is that I worked for a company that will not give me permission to publicly show the work that I did for them as an employee (make sure you get it written into your contract before hired). I feel like this has been a negative turn of events as I try to redesign my site in order to get more freelance work or a permanent job at another company.

But I refuse to dwell on the negative and so I trod onward.

I will select pieces from mockups I have created with edits so that my clients remain anonymous in keeping with confidentiality as well as some new pieces. It would be cool if anyone who reads this post offer a mock company for logo and/or web ideas.
