So hereI am Again...Cleaning House!

I have a lot of websites...one would say too many. I guess it depends on what the purpose of each site is for....for me, most are for business.

I sometimes have trouble deciding or separating what I should keep vs what it's time to move away from. I've kept a few personal sites - but mostly what I do is have business sites.

In the process, it was time to clear house - see what's working, what isn't and came across a site that sat somewhere in the middle...it most circumstances I would work it, build it, adjust it....but my gut said it's time to let it go and move on.

WOW, harder than I thought. It's like a BandAid really, you have to pull it off fast, because I was letting personal feelings into a business site. It was time to make a decision, and my pro/con list I made had more "emotional/time spent" feelings in it - and I know what that means....

It's actually a good feeling when I sort through this stuff. I've found where my strengths and weaknesses lie in sites, in my own business growth, and I'm learning more and more how to pull those two things apart...just some sites are harder to process than others.


....sooooo, that's what I've been up to. Oh, and I'm still running too (see last post!)

And So I Run...

..I've been so distracted by other projects, I've let this slide. The main topic of my life right now is that I'm training for my first ever 1/2 marathon. It's on my brain a lot, and I've been working on my progress.

I started with the C25k and have now jumped over to the Marathoning for Mortals training. My 1/2 marathon is in March - so I've got about 13 weeks in front of me to continue my training until the big day.

I realize I've slacked on another site that I need to take care of, and even though I'm aware of it - I find I need to push myself to get it done. Over the last few years, I've taken on so many different websites, I've had to pick and choose what I was doing with each, and so many there is just an emotional attachment and not wanting to let go of years of posting, writing or work. Some are working for me, others not so much...

This was the first blog I ever started - so for me - I sort of just want to hang on to it a little longer. I even moved a new blog to the domain SurvivingNJ.com, but I kept this along for the ride...

...I don't know how much longer I'll write to all my sites, since I build websites for business too - but I guess it's learning to break that attachment more than anything...wiping out years or writing seems difficult. I could always move a bunch of posts, but 3 years of writing - eh, I don't think I want to move it all...only some, but who has the time to go through and pick and choose, hahaha

Oh well...for now, running is on the brain, and blogging suffers on this end a bit.

Keeping it After All

I went through 2,500 posts these past 2 days, and decided I do want to keep it. It was fun going through it and reading things from 3 years ago! What I did do is clear out some crap that was on it, and adjust a few posts.

On that note...here's to another 3 years!
