(I work from home most of the time too, so it's easy to get cluttered quickly.)<br /><br />It's so easy to get triggered by events - I fight that battle a lot when I'm in the midst of trying to balance work, kids, etc. Thanks for coaching all of us here in blog-land!<br /><br />Love to you, Ang and Ali - hope you're all feeling better now!<br /><br />Laura (for Team A)Laura Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06701139472899714172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257209375427878024.post-31191561356592580992011-01-20T19:40:18.106-08:002011-01-20T19:40:18.106-08:00Thank you for such an inspirational post. WOW, wha...Thank you for such an inspirational post. WOW, what a differance a day makes huh? You really made me think tonight. I really try hard NOT to be a screamer but, sometimes I just can't help it. I feel like I am drowning on a daily basis and am barely keeping my nose above water. Having 2 kids under the age of 3 is hard! Being home with them all day is such a blessing but at the same time I feel like it is the hardest job I have ever had. It is so hard to keep this house in order and keep the kids entertained. Like tonight for example, I have been cleaning the house since about 3pm and I am still not done. As I clean I have two little tornadoes that follow me and destroy it. Ugh...<br /><br />I love reading your blog because it helps me to look on the positive side of every situation. Like, even though it is very stressful being a stay at home mommy, at least I get to stay home with them and see them all day every day! Still, I do appreciate my time away from all of the whining and mess. hehehe...<br /><br />I can't believe you have sold so few books. I agree with Anonymous' question before mine, you should try and get a major book retailer to pick up your book and see if you can't increase your sales that way. <br /><br />Also, have you ever thought of doing a VLOG(video blog on YouTube)? My husband likes to follow this one families VLOG called the ShayTards. According to my husband, they have only been posting videos for about 1 year and because his videos are so popular he gets paid not only by YouTube to post his videos but, companies pay him to allow them to put ads at the beginning of his videos. I guess he makes so much money just posting videos that he is debt free and was able to pay off the $195K in debt that he had prior to starting his VLOG adventure. It's just a thought...I know I would log in to watch you!! :-)<br /><br />Lots of Love,<br />Amber, Craig, Malorie, and Liam<br />The McLaughlin Family, CAThe McLaughlinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13131393449323517990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257209375427878024.post-29020223320006748462011-01-20T16:04:14.287-08:002011-01-20T16:04:14.287-08:00I am still in shock that you have sold so few copi...I am still in shock that you have sold so few copies of your book!

So I finished filing the piles etc and then clicked on your blog link, to find this post... too funny!<br /><br />I'm sure I've said it before, but since I started reading your blog, I've become a better mother, daughter, and wife. A big part of that was just making a choice to be more patient and understanding with my family, on a day to day basis!<br /><br />As a small business owner and someone who has a lot of ideas for my future with little idea (right now) how to accomplish them - I wish I could have a coach! By the time I can afford one, I probably will have figured out a lot of it on my own and won't really need the help, LOL. Ah well.<br /><br />Glad you had a better day! Good luck getting the hotel online thing sorted out.<br /><br />Best,<br />Cara in TucsonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04906360173298018328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257209375427878024.post-24564644048794444752011-01-20T07:16:17.655-08:002011-01-20T07:16:17.655-08:00Great office, great post and great advice!

After all, it was their mistake.<br /><br />It's always good to hear that you've worked through your present grief.<br /><br />May I suggest that you write some background info as part of your blog?

I haven´t commented in quite some time but this one triggered me. I stress and am triggered by what seems to be everything. Imagine, I allow myself to do this consciously and unconsciously and not only does it make life kind of unbearable sometimes but I have MS and let me tell you after every event that "pushed me over the edge" of stress I have had a lapse and had to have treatment. You are right that it is easy to say(trust me my husband and family tell me all the time) but difficult to do. I work and try because I know it can have serious repercussions for me but it is still difficult. Thank you for reminding me that I am in control. <br /><br />YOu are all still in my thoughts and prayers.<br /><br />Jeni (Madrid)Jeni Mullenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05216257227456439244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257209375427878024.post-12523774032617812602011-01-20T01:09:28.422-08:002011-01-20T01:09:28.422-08:00Thanks for your words of inspiration and support t...Thanks for your words of inspiration and support tonight. It was the greatest piece of advice I have heard this week. It is way easier to stress out about things instead of laugh about it. You will never know what your insight and encouraging words mean to those people like me who struggle everyday. Thanks for being so awesome. You are in my prayers I wish you the best in all your endeavors as a husband, father and son. Keep up the good work, your so amazing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
