Just Do It!

Action is a "do" word. I am all about action. In the last few years "action" has been my motto, so here I am kicking myself in the rear one more time, so I'll just sit down and make myself blog. It isn't that I don't love to write, because I do. My bio even alludes to the fact that I am rarely short on words. In the old days my problem with being an actress was that the scripts were way too confining. Blogging is one way to deal with my loquacious nature. I can't help it, I have a lot to say!

The truth is, I have had many other things crowding in and stealing my blogging time; like redesigning my website, writing the material for it, working on a new book, teaching workshops and that is just in the day when the kids are away! And then there is the majority of life which includes; my wonderful husband, family, Sam's soccer, orthodontist visits, helping Chloe navigate through college applications, helping Gabe navigate through career decisions, helping Josh think bigger about his amazing gifts, friends, sister, parents, grandparents, etc.

Then last night we kicked off our small group. Most of the couples couldn't make it,(don't despise small beginnings) but we really enjoyed getting to know the Prevettes who are a sweet couple with two beautiful kids. Chelsea mentioned her blog and that is the reason I was inspired to get back on track with mine. Thank you Chelsea!

Although we love being home group leaders and have missed not having a group for a while, the one draw back is that now I actually have to clean my house! Mark is certainly stoked and probably never wants to cease having a small group again. Usually our home is very tidy, because I can't stand clutter, but the hard core cleaning I avoid at all cost!

And then there is cooking! I think that my waining desire to cook stems from the years and years of being a dutiful Betty Crocker, baking bread and other delicacies everyday. Who knew there was a prisoner waiting to get free. Sometimes I enjoy cooking when I get inspired with interesting new dishes,(like the cute turkey cookies I made last night for home group) but the inspiration for daily coming up with gold metal winners in the kitchen has vacated. Now it has become just one more of those actions that I do just to see my family smile.
