Did You Miss Me?

Despite the difficulty of trying to juggle my day job, the Etsy business, this blog, and other responsibilities, I felt I was doing a pretty decent job of posting 2-5 days per week.  Deadlines at my day job were looming recently and I struggled to keep up with it all.  Something had to give and I ended up putting the blog on the sidelines.

I hope you all understand and will continue to follow my mad journey on Etsy.  The holiday weekend (Labor Day in the USA) gave me a unique opportunity that has freed me from the anxiety and stress that was building up.  My niece had her kinaalda (Navajo puberty ceremony) and we traveled home to the reservation to be a part of it.  There is something very amazing about Navajo families and how they come together for special events. It takes a ton of work to put together a five-day ceremony like this. I will explain a little more about it in a future post. For now, I just want to let you know how much I appreciate all of you out there who support us and those of you trying to get your own online businesses going.
